Shape-morphable origami electromagnetic waveguides.
Article in Communications engineering, 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
Electromagnetic waveguides are widely used in spacecraft, naval, electrical, and communication systems for transferring microwave energy. Conventional designs are typically rigid and bulky, offering little shape adaptability. This limits their use in confined spaces or systems requiring compact storage and high adaptability. Here we report highly shape-morphable origami electromagnetic waveguides that fold, deploy, and change shape. Inspired by origami folding techniques, including shopping bags and bellows designs, these waveguides demonstrate low-loss, robust microwave energy transmission in numerical and experimental studies. Results demonstrate that highly shape-morphable electromagnetic waveguides may effectively replace rigid counterparts including straight, twisted, and bent waveguides. This research employs a combined analytical and experimental framework to study the kinematics and mechanics of key geometries, particularly rectangular straight and twist bellows designs, offering rigorous structural design guidance. Engineering advancements and fundamental studies in this work lay the foundation for future adaptive microwave energy delivery waveguides.
