A survey of mechanical antennas applied for low-frequency transmitting.
Review in iScience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
The mechanical antenna (MA) is a new type of low-frequency (LF) transmitting antenna that generates an alternating electromagnetic (EM) signal through the mechanical movement of electric charges or magnetic dipoles, which is an interdisciplinary field including not only antennas but also electromagnetics, materials science, and dynamics. This principle of signaling makes it possible to break the constraints on physical dimensions decided by the wavelength of the traditional antenna so as to achieve LF communications with a smaller size and to provide a novel solution for long-range, underwater, and underground communications, navigation over the horizon, and geological exploring. Therefore, MA has become a research hotspot in the field of LF communications in recent 5 years, and this work proposed a survey on this topic of MA applied for LF transmitting. Firstly, we briefly review traditional low-frequency transmitting antennas and summarize the defect; then we introduce research progress of different implementation schemes for MA, comparing the signaling performance, advantages, and disadvantages of each scheme. Furthermore, we discuss the experiment setup, results, and related technology for MA including signal modulation methods. Finally, we explore prospects for future research about MA. This work presents a comprehensive and critical survey of small LF transmitters based on MA to help the readers to understand and identify the background, status, and challenges of research in this field.
