Design of a novel dual-polarized microwave sensor for human bone fracture detection using reactive impedance surfaces.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This paper presents a novel miniaturized dual-polarized transceiver sensor system for detecting fractures in human bone tissues. The system features a patch antenna and a Reactive Impedance Surface (RIS) layer that reduces its size by 30% compared to conventional designs, resulting in enhanced fracture detection accuracy. Additionally, the system includes a dielectric plano-concave lens that adapts to the human body and improves impedance matching for optimal performance. The lens contains via holes filled with a lossy dielectric material similar to human fat tissue, which concentrates electromagnetic (EM) power and increases penetration depth for more effective crack detection. To detect fractures, two identical sensors are placed opposite each other on the tissue and moved simultaneously. The amount of EM power collected by the receiver sensor is measured using S-parameters; the transmission coefficient (S
