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
With refinements in electromagnetics, diverse medical applications have evolved to detect diseases efficaciously. Breast cancer, a dominant cause of mortality among women worldwide, necessitates early diagnosis and screening for timely medical intervention. This research establishes the design, simulation, and analysis of an advanced triangular slotted circular flexible Ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna optimized for breast cancer detection and healthcare monitoring. The proposed antenna employs an extensive frequency range of 2.95 GHz to 24.2 GHz, accomplishing an impressive impedance bandwidth of 156%. It authenticates directional and omnidirectional radiation patterns with compact dimensions of 46.3 × 52.6 × 1.076 mm³. Key aspects divulge a resonance frequency at 14.35 GHz with a significant input reflection coefficient of -37.8 dB. The antenna achieves a peak gain of 3.16 dB at 5.8 GHz, with efficiencies of 59.56% and 66.88% at 5.8 GHz and 4.48 GHz, respectively. A meticulous case study involving SAR evaluation confirms the antenna's safe exposure levels. For a flat human phantom, SAR values are 0.774 W/kg at 13.5 GHz and 0.712 W/kg at 14.35 GHz for 10 gm of tissue. For the breast phantom model, SAR values are 0.201 W/kg at 11.4 GHz and 0.152 W/kg at 14.35 GHz for 10 gm of tissue. Besides that, the antenna's flexible design promises an excellent execution under several bending conditions, making it ideal for wearable applications. These findings establish the antenna as an efficient solution for breast cancer detection and healthcare monitoring, combining safety, flexibility, and the aptness to ameliorate early diagnosis while lowering mortality rates. Wearable antennas are pivotal for advanced healthcare applications. This section presents the literature and discusses the work related to flexible UWB antenna designed for breast cancer detection and healthcare monitoring, tackling challenges in early diagnosis and patient care.
