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

Modern wireless systems demand compact, power-efficient radio frequency (RF) front-end components that support wideband tunability and nonreciprocity. We present a class of miniature bandpass filter that achieves both continuously tunable frequency operation (4.0-17.7 GHz) and high nonreciprocity ( > 25 dB), all within a compact size of 1.07 cm³. The filter employs a microfabricated 18 µm thick Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) waveguide with meander-line aluminum transducers, enabling low-loss unidirectional propagation via magnetostatic surface waves. Leveraging a benzocyclobutene planarization fabrication process, this study enables a dispersion profile unique to thick YIG films, resulting in enhanced filter skirt performance with minimal spurious modes. Frequency tuning is enabled by a zero-static-power magnetic bias circuit using transient current pulses, eliminating continuous power consumption. The filter demonstrates low insertion loss (3-5 dB), high out-of-band rejection ( > 30 dB), narrow bandwidth (100-200 MHz), robust power handling ( > 10.4 dBm), and high linearity (IIP3 > 26 dBm).
