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 presents a hybrid mode semi-circular-shaped frequency reconfigurable antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) and multiband communication. The proposed antenna is designed on a FR-4 substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm, a relative permittivity of 4.2, and a compact size of 40 mm x 30 mm. Re-configurability is enabled by four PIN diodes, allowing the antenna to switch between UWB and various modes. The antenna operates in five different modes. In Mode 1 (all diodes OFF), the antenna operates as a UWB antenna covering  3.89 - 12.94 GHz with a peakgain of 6.93 dBi.It exhibits an axial ratio (AR) below 3 dB at 10.7 GHz, achieving a circular polarization bandwidth (AR BW) of 330 MHz from (10.53-10.86) GHz. Activating specific PIN diode combinations allows the antenna to function in different multiband configurations, supporting frequencies for 5G sub-6 GHz, WiMAX, and radar applications. This antenna's versatility, through its frequency re-configurability, makes it an ideal candidate for modern communication systems.
