Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Two-dimensional (2D) space-encoded metamaterials enable the progressive development of a multitude of functionalities for controlling electromagnetic (EM) waves. Recently, time-modulated phase-coded metasurfaces have been introduced into 2D metamaterials, allowing for EM wave manipulation across both spatial and frequency domains. This approach is naturally suited to microwave frequency range where the compact phase controlling elements, such as diodes and varactors are readily available. However, as future generation communication systems target frequencies above 100 GHz with a much higher speed and more densification, enhanced solutions utilizing the novel concepts will be inevitable because the metasurface integration with the common active elements is challenging. Here, we propose the space-time 1-bit amplitude-coded metasurfaces instead of phase-coded one to support the complex functionality for the intelligent control of the environment in wireless communication systems. The solution is implemented using graphene-based meta-atom, where 1-bit amplitude-coding is reconfigurable via bias voltage. To validate the effectiveness of this approach for beam shaping, we demonstrate beam steering with low sidelobe patterns by achieving the desired effective amplitude and phase distributions. This proposed method is anticipated to broaden the applications of digital coding metasurfaces, particularly in THz wireless communication systems.
