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

This work proposes a novel multi-band reflective metasurface, that is capable of linear polarization (LP), and circular polarization (CP) conversion in Ku, K, Ka, and U Bands. The metasurface design involves a combination of ring and square elements strategically arranged, and printed on a 0.76 mm thin-grounded Rogers RO3003 substrate. The metasurface achieves LP for y-polarized incident electromagnetic (EM) wave in 16.2-17.2 GHz, 23.0-25.4 GHz, 40.3-54.35 GHz frequency bands. The polarization conversion ratio (PCR) for LP frequency ranges is minimum 90% with an fractional bandwidth (FB) of 2.94%, 9.91%, and 26.9%, respectively. Moreover, metasurface achieves CP for y-polarized incident EM wave in 16.1-16.55 GHz, 17.5-22.15 GHz, 26.65-37.75 GHz, and 55.6-59.8 GHz frequency bands. In addition, the axial ratio (AR) for CP frequency ranges is less than 3 dB with a FB of 2.75%, 23.45%, 34.47%, and 7.27%. The device performance is considerably stable under oblique incidences up to 45 degrees. The metasurface unitcell is compact with a structural size of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The proposed prototype is fabricated, and the measured results are in good agreement with the simulated one. Overall, the proposed metasurface exhibits promising performance characteristics and holds potential for multiple applications in satellite based networks.
