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 proposes a compact multimode gap-coupled antenna for dual-band Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 applications. The proposed structure significantly improves bandwidth and efficiency while maintaining a low-profile, compact size, and planar design without the need for complex three-dimensional geometries or an external matching circuit. A distinguishing aspect of this work is the introduction of a multimode excitation mechanism enabled by a gap-coupled U-shaped resonator, which facilitates efficient mode coupling and wideband impedance matching within a compact 50 × 30 mm ground plane. Unlike previous designs that rely on multilayer stacking or metallic-frame coupling, the proposed single-layer FR-4 antenna achieves wide dual-band coverage through structural simplicity and controlled inter-branch resonance. The antenna offers dual-band operation covering the 2.4–2.5 GHz and 5.15–7.125 GHz regions, with simulated − 10 dB impedance bandwidths of 400 MHz (2.18–2.58 GHz) and 2220 MHz (5.13–7.35 GHz). Measured average total efficiencies are 70% in the lower band and 67% in the higher band, confirming stable radiation performance across the frequency ranges. Its two-dimensional radiation patterns exhibit quasi-omnidirectional characteristics suitable for mobile applications. The simple and planar configuration makes the proposed antenna a strong candidate for integration into compact wireless and IoT platforms supporting next-generation Wi-Fi 6E/7 connectivity.
