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 paper presents a compact metasurface-based tri-band MIMO antenna for space-constrained multi-standard wireless devices. The antenna operates across 3.3–3.8 GHz (5G n78), 4.4–5.0 GHz (5G n79), and 5.1–5.9 GHz (Wi-Fi (802.11n/ac/ax)) bands. Its radiating element is a metasurface composed of seven hexagon-slotted hexagonal patches arranged in a cellular configuration, optimally designed using Characteristic Mode Analysis for tri-band performance. A key challenge addressed is the severe mutual coupling that arises when this element is extended to a densely spaced 1 × 2 MIMO array with near-zero edge-to-edge spacing. To overcome this, a strategically simple decoupling structure using only two pairs of vertical metallic posts is proposed. This minimalist approach proves highly effective, as both simulation and measurement results demonstrate enhanced isolation across all three bands, with |S₂₁| suppressed to -20.8 dB, -19.1 dB, and − 24.3 dB, respectively, while maintaining well-preserved impedance matching. Furthermore, the antenna exhibits excellent MIMO performance, with measured results confirming excellent isolation, low correlation, and minimal Channel Capacity Loss across the operating bands. The scalable cellular architecture of the metasurface allows for adaptation to irregular array geometries, making the proposed design a practical and high-performance solution for advanced, compact wireless applications.
