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

A compact and polarization-insensitive hexa-band metamaterial absorber (MMA) is designed, fabricated, and experimentally validated for S, C, X, and Ku band applications. The proposed unit cell consists of two square rings, two hexagonal rings, and two diamond-shaped copper resonators printed on an FR-4 dielectric substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm. The structure exhibits six distinct absorption peaks at 2.178, 5.484, 8.391, 11.811, 15.858, and 18.689 GHz, with corresponding absorptivities of 99%, 98%, 99%, 99%, 99%, and 97%, respectively. The compact unit cell of 12.5 × 12.5 mm
