Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A compact ultra-wideband bandstop filter (UWB-BSF) based on a microstrip line and innovative complementary electrical LC (CELC)-loaded metamaterial (MTM) resonators is proposed. These MTM resonators exhibit negative effective permeability and epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) effective permittivity. The design employs a Rogers RO3006™ substrate and achieves an ultra-wide 3-dB stopband extending from 5.4 GHz to 21.6 GHz, equivalent to a fractional bandwidth of 120%, with a high rejection level. The shape factor (SF = 0.87), close to 1, and seven transmission zeros indicate high selectivity in the transition bands. The group delay remains flat in the lower and upper passbands, with GD ≤ 0.74 ns and GD ≤ 0.50 ns, respectively. The suggested UWB-BSF, with an overall size of 0.55λg × 2.22λg × 0.07λg, has been validated through simulations and measurements. The results demonstrate significant selectivity in the transition bands, making the filter particularly suitable for modern technologies such as 5G (Sub-6 GHz) and 5G NR (New Radio), especially within the n77 (3.3-4.2 GHz), n78 (3.3-3.8 GHz), and n79 (4.4-5.0 GHz) frequency bands, as well as Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), 4G LTE, Ku-band satellite communications and K-band radar systems, by enhancing precision through effective mitigation of undesired signals. This research supports SDG 9, SDG 11, and SDG 12 by fostering innovation in wireless communication infrastructure, enabling sustainable smart city applications, and promoting efficient, compact design practices.
