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
A circularly-polarized (CP) printed antenna is proposed for millimeter-wave mobile communications. The antenna has a defected ground structure (DGS), and it operates at 28 GHz. The geometries of the antenna on the upper surface and the DGS are symmetric about a [Formula: see text]-diagonal to produce perfect circular polarization. The antenna is fed through a three-stage microstrip line that acts as an impedance transformer for perfect matching of the antenna impedance to [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text]. The development of the antenna design is described in detail, starting with a square patch that is subjected to progressive geometrical modifications in the design stages to reach the final design of the patch antenna. The simulation results show that the antenna has a reflection coefficient magnitude of less than [Formula: see text] at an axial ratio of less than 0.5 dB at 28 GHz. The technique used to generate the radiated circular polarized waves is demonstrated by investigating the surface current on the printed patch at the resonant frequency. The primary objective of the proposed design is not to produce a high-gain antenna, but rather to produce a low-profile planar antenna to serve as a building block for CP antenna systems such as multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antennas, beam steering, and beamforming antenna arrays operating at 28 GHz. The designed antenna is fabricated and subjected to experimental evaluation. The numerical simulation results and the practical measurements came in good consent from the impedance matching and axial ratio (AR) of the radiated circular polarized wave perspectives. The input impedance is matched to the feeding line over a 1-GHz band, from 27.5 GHz to 28.5 GHz. The radiated wave is circularly polarized with AR less than 3 dB over about 0.4 GHz band starting from 27.8 GHz to 28.2 GHz. The peak gain of the designed antenna is 7 dBi and the radiation efficiency exceeds 90% all over the band of impedance matching. The performance of the antenna is compared with those of other antenna designs presented in some recent publications.
