1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

With the rapid development of electronic technology and modern radar detection system, there is increasingly urgent demand for microwave absorbing composites working efficiently in the low frequency range (e.g., 1−2 GHz). In this work, a type of metamaterial/honeycomb sandwich composite (MHSC) was proposed and fabricated, which exhibited a light weight structure and excellent wave-absorbing performance in the low frequency band. The relationship between the wave-absorbing properties and the design parameters of the composite, such as the thickness of the wave-transmitting skin, the thickness and dielectric properties of the wave-absorbing honeycomb, was systematically investigated. The electromagnetic coupling interference between the honeycomb absorber and metamaterial resonator proved to be a crucial factor that affects synergistic wave-absorbing performance in the low-frequency band. Under the rational design, the incorporation of subwavelength-sized phase-gradient metamaterial units in the composite can significantly improve low-frequency wave-absorbing performance for greater than 5 dB (an increment larger than 100%); and the obtained MHSC exhibits averaged reflectivity (Ra) less than −10 dB in the low frequency band of 1−2 GHz as well as outstanding performance (Ra < −14.6 dB) over an extremely wide frequency range (1−18 GHz). The MHSC reported in this study could be a promising candidate for the key material in high-performance radar stealth and other related applications.
