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

Ultrathin, broadband microwave absorbing materials (MAMs) are crucial for weight-sensitive and space-constrained applications. This study introduces the electromagnetic frequency dispersion coefficient (EFDC), a synergistic dielectric-magnetic parameter that moves beyond conventional complex mechanisms. Our model directly links EFDC to microwave absorption (MA) performance, guiding the design of advanced MAMs. By optimizing EFDC, we achieved an ultra-wide effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 7.04 GHz at 1 mm and 9.28 GHz at 1.3 mm. Moreover, the temperature invariance of EFDC ensures consistent MA performance from 298 K to 473 K, despite the differing thermal responses of permittivity and permeability. This principle outlines a systematic design strategy for fabricating ultrathin and broadband MAMs, establishing a robust framework for developing high-attenuation absorbers suitable for complex frequency and thermal environments.
