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

In this work, an eight-port MIMOn-s antenna with dual-band operation is presented. The proposed work involves several wireless applications with FR1 and FR2 millimeter-wave bands. Also, a need for conformal antenna with capability of reduced SAR can cater the need for applications in flexible electronics. The antenna includes an oval-shaped radiating patch with a circular slot printed on Rogers RT Duroid TM5880 substrate on one plane and rectangular defected-ground-structure on the other side with a dimension of 70.71 × 70.71 mm2. The radiating patch and ground are asymmetric-fed producing measured bandwidth of Band 1 = 3.59-3.85GHz useful for WiMAX application and Band 2 = 8.40-70.0GHz for application in Industry-Scientific-Medical (ISM)-24.0 GHz, Ultra-wideband (UWB)-24.0GHz and millimeter-wave 5G-FR2 bands (n257-n263). The property of the substrate thickness = 0.254mm is utilized for bending angles of 15°, 30°, and 45° ensuring no change in -10.0dB impedance bandwidth making it suitable for flexible-electronics applications. The SARn-s is evaluated with antenna placed on tissue (skin, fat, muscle) model at SAR/frequency and found to be ≤ 1.60 W/Kg at key frequency values in the operating bandwidth of interest corresponding to 0.0331 W/Kg at 3.50GHz, 0.0435 W/Kg at 10.0GHz, 0.0131 W/Kg at 15.0GHz, 0.0209 W/Kg at 24.0GHZ, 0.0171 W/Kg at 26.0GHz, 0.0116 W/Kg at 28.0GHz, 0.00334 W/Kg at 38.0GHz, 0.00336 W/Kg at 39.0GHz, 0.00296 W/Kg at 41.0GHz, 0.00149 W/Kg at 47.0GHz and 0.0851 W/Kg at 60.0GHz. The diversity performance is also evaluated with measured ECCn-s < 0.02, DGn-s > 9.9998dB, TARCn-s < -8.0dB, and CCLn-s < 0.10b/s/Hz. The measured peak-gain varied between 2.965dBi-16.258dBi with maximum peak-gain of 16.13dBi at 60.0GHz including 2-D radiation patterns at WiMAX and other bands. The multi-band flexible-ability and acceptable SARn-s suggest the proposed well suited for WiMAX and future 5G applications in FR2 bands.
