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

This paper presents design and characterisation of a new compact metasurface based linear polarisation converter for terahertz applications. The metasurface unit cell with periodicity of 0.292λ0 consists of an asymmetrically oriented planar double semicircular goblet-shaped resonators. It is printed on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) dielectric substrate backed by a gold layer that acts as a ground plane. This metasurface structure exhibits a broadband cross-polarisation conversion in the frequency range of 0.72−0.99 THz with a polarisation conversion ratio (PCR) > 95% and angular stability > 40∘ for both TE and TM modes. However, the PCR for the single band is >99% at resonant frequencies of 0.755 and 0.94 THz, while the optimised design shows 100% PCR over a BW of 95 GHz. Furthermore, slight modification and optimisation of the broadband design results in quad-ring and slotted DSGRs that produce dual and triple broadband polarisation conversion, respectively. The quad-ring DSGR performs polarisation conversion for frequency range of 0.70−1.08 and 1.61−1.76 THz while the slotted DSGR shows the triple broadband cross-conversion for frequency range of 0.67−0.85, 1.04−1.11, and 1.62−1.76 THz with PCR > 95%. This design is simple, easy to modify to implement single and multi broadband polarisation conversion with high PCR at terahertz regime. In addition to that, it is easy to fabricate and integrate with other components like multiple-input multiple-output terahertz antennas for mutual coupling reduction.
