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

A Ka-Band, 26.5-40 GHz, omnidirectional metamaterial-inspired antenna was designed, built, and tested to develop a simple printed compact (10.3 mm × 10.3 mm × 0.0787 mm) multiple-point sensor for air pollution monitoring. This Ka-band antenna generated a dual band at 27.49-29.74 GHz and 33.0-34.34 GHz. The VSWR values within the two bands are less than 1.5. The radiation and total efficiency are 97% and 92% in the first band and they are both 96% in the second band. The maximum gain is between 3.26 and 5.50 dBi and between 5.09 and 6.52 dBi in the first and second bands, respectively. The dual band is the key to enhancing the sensor's detection accuracy. This Omni MTM-inspired antenna/sensor can effectively detect toxic and neurotoxic metal particles, i.e., lead, zinc, copper, and nickel, in evidently polluted living environments, such as factory/industrial environments, with different particle/mass concentrations. This sensor can be adapted to detect metal pollutants in different environments, such as water or other fluid-based matrices, and can also be applied to long-range communication repeaters and 5G harvesting energy devices, to name a few.
