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
We propose a design of 1 × 4 planar antenna array for wideband millimeter-wave (mm-wave) applications, integrated with a metasurface reflector. The single radiating element of the array is composed of a modified ring resonator, designed by combining two rings of different radii. This leads to a compact antenna with dimensions reducing the overall size of the array. For the excitation of array elements, a broadband feeding network is designed, while the wideband characteristics are achieved using a partial ground plane loaded with a square notch. For high gain and improved radiation characteristics, an array of 3 × 10 metasurface unit cells are built and placed at the back side of the antenna array at a specific distance. A prototype of the proposed antenna system is fabricated, and measurements are made to verify the simulated performance. From the results obtained, it is noted that the 1 × 4 planar antenna array with a metasurface reflector offers 12.86 GHz of impedance bandwidth in the range 27.14–40 GHz, and a maximum gain of 12.3 dBi is achieved in the operating frequency range. Furthermore, the directional radiation characteristics are obtained, especially for the low- and mid-band frequencies.
