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 study presents a high-efficiency broadband metasurface (MS) absorber designed for applications in the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) frequency bands, specifically at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz. The proposed absorber offers wide-angle stability and polarization insensitivity within a compact structure. It consists of a split-ring resonator (SRR) integrated with lumped resistors, hosted on an FR4 substrate and backed by a copper ground plane. An optimized 8 mm air gap is introduced to improve impedance matching and extend the absorption bandwidth without increasing the overall profile. The absorber's performance was evaluated through theoretical analysis, full-wave electromagnetic simulations, and experimental measurements. The simulated results show near-unity absorption, exceeding 98% at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz under normal incidence. Additionally, the absorber achieves broadband absorption spanning 2.1 to 6.96 GHz for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarizations, maintaining stable operation for incidence angles up to 60°. The measured results closely agree with simulations, confirming the reliability of the design. Compared with previously reported absorbers, the proposed structure demonstrates enhanced bandwidth, compactness, and angular stability, making it a strong candidate for wireless communication, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and sensing applications.
