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

In order to implement multiple electromagnetic (EM) wave front control, a reconfigurable multifunctional metasurface (RMM) has been investigated in this paper. It can meet the requirements for 6G communication systems. Considering the full-space working modes simultaneously, both reflection and transmission modes, the flexible transmission-reflection-integrated RMM with p-i-n diodes and anisotropic structures is proposed. By introducing a 45°-inclined H-shaped AS and grating-like micro-structure, the polarization conversion of linear to circular polarization (LP-to-CP) is achieved with good angular stability, in the transmission mode from top to bottom. Meanwhile, reflection beam patterns can be tuned by switching four p-i-n diodes to achieve a 1-bit reflection phase, which are embedded in the bottom of unit cells. To demonstrate the multiple reconfigurable abilities of RMMs to regulate EM waves, the RMMs working in polarization conversion mode, transmitted mode, reflected mode, and transmission-reflection-integrated mode are designed and simulated. Furthermore, by encoding two proper reflection sequences with 13×13 elements, reflection beam patterns with two beams and four beams can be achieved, respectively. The simulation results are consistent with the theoretical method. The suggested metasurface is helpful for radar and wireless communications because of its compact size, simple construction, angular stability, and multi-functionality.
