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
In this paper, we present a circularly polarized (CP) printed dipole array antenna (CP-PDA) with fractal-inspired dipole arms and parasitic elements in the form of stairs. By stacking five ellipses with increasing radiuses to form the semifractal dipole arms, the antenna's effective electrical length and bandwidth are enhanced while maintaining compactness. By generating orthogonal electric field components with a phase difference of 90°, stair-shaped parasitic elements convert linear polarization into circular polarization. Using Wilkinson power dividers and microstrip line phase shifters as a sequentially rotated feeding network, the array outputs can be accurately phased at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°, resulting in a high level of polarization purity. Tests of the fabricated prototype revealed that the results are consistent with simulations. In addition to covering WLAN, ISM, and satellite frequencies, the array antenna offers a wide impedance bandwidth of 41.12% (1.99-3.02 GHz) and an axial ratio bandwidth of 35.02% (2.12-3.02 GHz). With a peak gain of 14.16 dBic at 2.55 GHz and a polarization purity exceeding 27 dB, the array exhibits right-handed circular polarization (RHCP). The antenna is fabricated using standard PCB etching techniques on FR4 and Rogers RO4003 substrates and tested in the antenna laboratory, demonstrating robust performance under practical fabrication tolerances. The antenna's wide bandwidth and high polarization purity make it suitable for real-world deployments in WLAN routers, ISM-band IoT devices, and S-band satellite terminals, where resilience to polarization mismatch and multipath fading is critical.
