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

Metal detection plays an important role in applications ranging from security to industrial quality control. This work presents a novel ground-less circular patch resonator which behaves as an open stub, engineered for high-sensitivity detection of metallic objects. The key innovation lies in utilizing electric field coupling between the stub's top surface and nearby metallic targets. The detection is achieved by monitoring changes in the transmission coefficient. The proposed design offers two key advancements by extending detection range up to 8 cm and selective sensitivity exclusively to metallic materials by remaining unresponsive to dielectric objects. Experimental results show that as the distance between the metallic object and the sensor decreases, the resonance coupling becomes stronger, demonstrated by a resonance frequency shift and dip of approximately -10 dB in the transmission coefficient. The sensor is also capable of "see-through" metal detection behind dielectric barriers, and its selective sensitivity to metallic materials helps minimize false responses from non-metallic objects. This approach allows for the detection of cracks in metallic objects and applications involving ground penetration radar (GPR) systems.
