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 work presents a compact dual-band four-element multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna designed for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) applications, with particular emphasis on 5G wireless communication systems. The proposed antenna occupies an ultra-compact volume of 15 × 15 × 0.8 mm³ (approximately 0.55λ × 0.55λ × 0.03λ at 28 GHz), making it highly suitable for integration into space-constrained wireless devices. The antenna operates efficiently over two mm-wave bands, 29-31 GHz and 36.5-38.5 GHz, covering key 5G NR-FR2 frequency allocations. By incorporating strategically placed slots and a compact radiating structure, the antenna achieves a peak realized gain of 8.1 dBi and 8.64 dBi in the lower and upper operating bands, respectively, while maintaining strong port isolation exceeding 25 dB. Both simulated and measured results demonstrate good agreement, validating the effectiveness of the proposed design. A comprehensive MIMO performance evaluation confirms excellent diversity characteristics, with a very low envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) of less than 0.001, a high diversity gain (DG) of approximately 9.99 dB, a total active reflection coefficient (TARC) maintained within - 5 to 5 dB, and a low channel capacity loss (CCL) of 0.21 bit/s/Hz across the operating bands. Owing to its compact size, high gain, strong isolation, and robust MIMO performance, the proposed antenna is a promising candidate for next-generation mm-wave 5G and future wireless communication systems.
