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
As UWB technology develops and devices become smaller, miniaturization techniques for an array antenna system are required. In addition, more in-depth research is needed for UWB direction-finding techniques using channel impulse response (CIR) data. This paper proposes an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna using a single-radiator multiple-port (SRMP) design for the direction-finding systems of smart devices. The proposed SRMP antenna was designed using a single tripod-shaped patch that can replace the array system. The tripod-shaped radiator was optimized using the edge shape design function to improve its broadband and mutual coupling characteristics. For performance verification, the proposed antenna was fabricated, and the reflection coefficient, mutual coupling, and radiation patterns were measured in a fully anechoic chamber. The proposed antenna has an operating frequency band of 6.1 GHz (from 5.8 GHz to 11.9 GHz) for port 1 and a measured mutual coupling of -14.8 dB at 8 GHz. The SRMP antenna has measured maximum gains of 3.5 dBi for port 1 and 2.9 dBi for port 2. To examine the direction-finding performance, the fabricated antenna was connected to a circuit module with a DW3000 chip, which is widely employed in commercial mobile UWB systems. The direction of arrival (DoA) results using the measured CIR data show root-mean-square (RMS) errors of 1.57° and 4.58° at distances of 30 cm and 60 cm.
