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

An on-body antenna, comprised of two closely-spaced antiphase patch elements, for microwave imaging may provide enhanced signal penetration into the tissue. By further integrating a 180-degree on-chip power combiner with the dual antiphase patch antenna element, a low-profile miniaturized antenna, integrated into a single 18.5 mm x 10 mm x 1.6 mm circuit board assembly, is designed and evaluated both numerically and experimentally. This is the smallest on-body antenna known to the authors for the given frequency band. This linearly polarized antenna may potentially serve as a building block of a dense antenna array for prospective high-resolution microwave imaging. A 2.4 GHz band was chosen as the design target. The final antenna size was a compromise between the miniaturization, the SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio), and the targeted antenna bandwidth (2.3-2.5 GHz). The effect of surface waves (the secondary radiating components) was also factored in the design consideration, while maximizing the detected signals' SNR.
