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

Millimeter-wave communications can potentially provide high-data-rate transmission. In addition, in the case of indoor small cells, new needs related to the radiation pattern of the antennas are emerging. In this work, a technique for the synthesis of planar transmitarray antennas with simultaneous near-field and far-field requirements is proposed. It is based on an iterative process, going from synthesized sources to generated field and back, through three operations: near-field computation as the sum of far-field contributions from the array elements, and inverse and direct fast Fourier transforms. As a result, the technique is very efficient from the point of view of computing time. In order to demonstrate the ability of the method, two examples are studied: one of them with a null in the near-field region and the other with a focal point, both pointing simultaneously in a specific far-field direction. The results are validated by manufacturing two dielectric "quasi-planar" prototypes at 26 GHz. The measure of the prototypes is in good agreement with the results advanced by the algorithm. These preliminary results suggest that the method can be extended to more complex scenarios.
