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
This paper presents a four-port multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with compact size, wideband operation, and high isolation characteristics. The wideband performance is achieved by generating two adjacent resonances, which are respectively produced by a half-wavelength slot and a metasurface (MS). Four MIMO elements are arranged in a 2 [Formula: see text] 2 configuration with zero spacing between the MIMO elements to achieve the compact size feature. For mutual coupling reduction, the adjacent elements are positioned so that their polarizations are perpendicular. Meanwhile, the coupling between the opposite elements is suppressed with the aid of shorting pins. The final design has compact size of 1.08 [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] 0.89 [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] 0.07 [Formula: see text] and center-to-center element spacing of 0.35 [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the free-space wavelength at 5.2 GHz. The measured operating bandwidth, in which the reflection and transmission coefficients are respectively smaller than -10 and -20 dB, is from 4.9 to 5.8 GHz. Across this band, the proposed design has peak broadside gain of 4.5 dBi and good MIMO diversity performance. Compared to other related works, the proposed design has advantages of wideband, high isolation, while keeping a compact size characteristic.
