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 the design of a low-profile dipole antenna incorporating a polarisation converter metasurface and cavity reflector for wideband circular polarisation and high-gain performance. The antenna comprises a modified dipole structure with two parasitic patches placed on the bottom side of the substrate in a coplanar configuration, and a metasurface comprising four modified square metal patches in a 2 × 2 layout, with a centrally positioned cross-shaped strip printed on the top side of the substrate. A modified cavity reflector with truncated corners and four triangular extensions at the top corners of the cavity was introduced beneath the dipole to enhance gain. Each unit cell of the metasurface included a complementary patch structure formed by etching two diagonally oriented C-shaped slots onto a square metal patch, resulting in a distinct chiseled pattern. These diagonal slots are critical for generating a 90° phase difference and balancing the amplitude of the orthogonal polarisation components, thus facilitating the conversion from linear to circular polarisation. The proposed antenna achieves a global bandwidth of 49.7% (4.0-6.73 GHz), simultaneously satisfying impedance matching, axial ratio, and gain requirements with a peak gain of 10.8 dBic and a radiation efficiency exceeding 92%.
