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 paper introduces a flexible loop antenna-based sensor optimized for real-time monitoring of meat quality by detecting changes in dielectric properties over a six-day storage period. Operating within the 2.4 GHz ISM band, the sensor is designed using CST Microwave Studio 2024 to deliver high sensitivity and accuracy. The sensing mechanism leverages resonance frequency shifts caused by variations in permittivity as the meat degrades. Experimental validation across five samples showed a consistent frequency shift from 2.14 GHz (Day 0) to 1.29 GHz (Day 5), with an average sensitivity of 0.173GHz/day. A strong correlation was observed between measured and simulated results, as evidenced by linear regression (R2=0.984 and R2=0.974 for measured and simulated data, respectively). The sensor demonstrated high precision and repeatability, validated by low standard deviations and minimal frequency deviations. Compact, printable, and cost-effective, the proposed sensor offers a scalable solution for food quality monitoring. Its robust performance highlights its potential for integration into IoT platforms and extension to other perishable food products, advancing real-time, non-invasive, RF-based food safety technologies.
