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 the present study, a broadband symmetrical rectifier high-efficiency low-complexity single-layer cost-efficient system at 2-18 GHz frequency with horizontal and vertical polarization in receiver antennas has been proposed for harvesting radio frequency energy. The rectenna system circuit consists of two ridged horn antennas with separate linear horizontal and vertical polarization that receive the RF waves. Then, a uniform and integrated rectifier circuit is presented using two power dividers and a Wilkinson combiner to divide and combine the desired power in the system. The rectifier part uses a commercial Schottky diode (HSMS-2850). Using this structure on the output of the rectifier circuit, the vertical and horizontal polarization, as well as a combination of the two, are provided with high power transformation efficiency and the lowest power drop (equally 3 dB) to harvest various types of RF energy. The new rectifier circuit consists of a unique structure and a cheap and available substrate (RO4003) all over the frequency range of 2-18 GHz. The designed prototype has an average power conversion efficiency of 32% for very low input power, around - 5 dBm. In addition, this rectifier circuit has a voltage of 3.55 V at the power of -5 dBm. Considering the simultaneous use of two receivers, when the relative phase of input signals ranges from 0 to 360 degrees, an efficiency of 35 to 40% can be observed.
