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
The design and implementation of a wideband low-loss H-plane horn slot antenna array excited by a 2-by-2 bottom-fed planar corporate feeding network is presented in this paper. The feeding network is presented by a 2-by-2 symmetric power dividing system designed to feed a 2-by-2 slot antenna array from bottom. The feeding network is realized using printed ridge gap waveguide technology as a magnetic ground, to suppress surface wave propagation and to enable quasi-TEM wave propagation along the microstrip feed. Each of the power-divider branches in the feeding network excites a slot, while maintaining the impedance bandwidth of the original unloaded power divider. The feeding mechanism and H-plane horn elements help to control the sidelobe levels and increase the overall gain. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulations, with an impedance bandwidth of over 58.5%, covering the entire X-band, with a peak gain of 14.1 dBi at 10 GHz, and a measured radiation efficiency greater than 86% throughout the operating frequency range, with a peak of 99% at 10 GHz. These are significant improvements compared to an impedance bandwidth of less than 25% and a gain of 11 dBi for the antenna array without the horn elements. The antenna has a compact size of [Formula: see text] or 1.6[Formula: see text]1.6[Formula: see text]0.5[Formula: see text] at 10 GHz.
