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

Generation of controllable illusions has raised widespread interest. Over the past few decades, this field has been revolutionized by the emergence of metamaterials and metasurfaces. However, current efforts utilizing single-layer metasurfaces are limited to simple illusion demonstrations by reproducing electromagnetic field distributions, which also struggle to achieve both broad bandwidths and wide angular ranges. Here, a nontrivial multi-layer illusion strategy is proposed utilizing the inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging. The customization of illusions is facilitated by correlating the phase dispersion of meta-atoms within the target frequency interval with the positioning of the structure. The approach enables the creation of illusions across a broadband of 8 to 12 GHz and a wide angular range from -30° to 30°. As a proof of principle, several illusions are experimentally demonstrated, showcasing the diversity of the approach. This work presents a viable illusion strategy that is more feasible for practical applications in the microwave domain, paving the way for future advances of customizable illusions.
