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

The holographic technique is one of the simplest methods for designing antennas based on metasurface. This paper presents a spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP) leaky-wave antenna (LWA) based on the concept of impedance modulated metasurfaces by the anisotropic holographic technique. Instead of parasitic elements, anisotropic SSPP elements are exploited to achieve radiation with circular polarization. The characteristics of the SSPP elements are obtained by the aperture field estimate method. The hologram surface consists of hollow cross-bars unit cells. The anisotropy of each unit cell is achieved by combining the transformation optic method and the particle swarm optimization algorithm. A major challenge of the SSPP LWA based on modulated impedance surfaces is to find a suitable excitation technique. This study proposes a waveguide strip line launcher for excitation to minimize interference on the radiation pattern beam. The designed launcher provides a good impedance matching from 8 to 20 GHz, with an impedance bandwidth of 142%. The peak gain, radiation efficiency, axial ratio (AR) bandwidth, and side lobe level at the design frequency of 18 GHz are 19.7dBi, 93%, 11%, and - 12.1 dB, respectively. After optimizations and simulations are conducted using MATLAB and CST software, the proposed antenna is fabricated, and its radiation characteristics are measured. The measured results agree well with the simulated ones, indicating the high validity of the method.
