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
This article presents a novel wideband (WB) tilted-beam end-fire planar antenna for microwave and millimeter-wave (mmWave) applications. The antenna comprises of a microstrip fed double semi-circular rings over a curvilinear slotted ground plane. It is impedance matched over a broad frequency range from 11.5 to 62.5 GHz, covering the 5G New Radio (NR) mmWave bands n257, n258, n260, n261, and partly covering the unlicensed 60 GHz band. Across this entire band, the antenna exhibits a return loss better than 12 dB and a gain exceeding 6.5 dBi, with a peak gain of 11.6 dBi at 40 GHz. The overall electrical size of the antenna is 1.28 × 1 × 0.08 [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] corresponds to the free-space wavelength at 32 GHz. Within the 24-40 GHz frequency range, corresponding to a 50% fractional bandwidth and covering the four 5G NR bands, end-fire radiation is achieved with a tilted beam angle of [Formula: see text] ± [Formula: see text]. A prototype of the antenna is fabricated and experimentally characterized. The measured results show good agreement with full-wave simulations, validating the proposed design. Owing to its compact planar geometry, wide bandwidth, and high gain, the antenna is a strong candidate for future high-data-rate wireless communication systems.
