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

This paper introduces an innovative design and analysis of a magneto-electric dipole antenna exhibiting high-gain, ultra-wideband operation, and stable radiation characteristics in the 60-GHz mm-wave band. Furthermore, the trapped printed gap waveguide (TPGW) technology is presented as a low-cost, minimal-loss, and low-dispersion guiding structure to feed the proposed antenna. The antenna covers a relative matching bandwidth of over 33.33% from 50 to 70 GHz with a maximum gain up to 8 dBi. In addition, the antenna is integrated with a perforated dielectric substrate layer lens on the antenna's broadside location, enhancing the gain by an average of 3 dB along its entire operational bandwidth. Moreover, an efficient approach for designing a large ME dipole antenna array and its corporate feeding network is presented. Both ME-dipole sub-arrays and the out-of-phase power divider with WR-15 standard interface are designed and studied separately, where a systematic design procedure is presented to obtain initial design parameters. A 2 × 2 planar antenna array is designed and implemented, featuring proper integration between the radiating elements and a differentially fed wide-bandwidth TPGW power divider. Then, the operation of the individual components has been assessed using simulation and measurements. Furthermore, an in-depth mathematical analysis is presented to investigate the potential resonance conditions arising from disparities in complementary components. Consequently, a proposed solution is provided to break the resonance loop and shield the two opposing sub-arrays. The 2 × 2 array of ME-dipoles has overall dimensions of 1.6[Formula: see text] ×1.4[Formula: see text] and demonstrates an impedance bandwidth ([Formula: see text]- 10 dB) exceeding 33.33% at 60 GHz, with a peak gain of over 18 dBi.
