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 paper presents the design, modeling, and numerical validation of a compact artificial magnetic conductor (AMC)-backed flexible UHF RFID tag antenna intended for on-body biomedical and wearable sensing applications. Human tissue proximity typically causes severe detuning, radiation efficiency degradation, and increased specific absorption rate (SAR) for conventional RFID tag antennas. To address these limitations, a miniaturized AMC metasurface based on a modified Jerusalem-cross geometry with meandered and interdigitated features is developed on a high-permittivity biocompatible substrate using CST Studio Software (2025). Full-wave simulations demonstrate that the proposed design, with an ultra-compact footprint of 0.0246 λ
