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 a compact, orthogonally placed 2-port MIMO antenna optimized for next-generation wireless and satellite communication systems. A key challenge in MIMO antenna design—mutual coupling between radiating elements—is addressed through an effective decoupling strategy, achieving isolation levels better than − 30 dB across the entire operating band. The proposed antenna exhibits dual resonances: the first at 1.6 GHz, covering a wide frequency range from 0.7 GHz to 8.6 GHz with a fractional bandwidth of 170.1%, and the second at 12.6 GHz, covering 12.0 GHz to 15.4 GHz with a fractional bandwidth of 24.82%. These bands collectively support applications such as GPS, ADS-B, X-band radar, and Ku-band satellite communications. The antenna demonstrates a peak gain of 4.9 dB with an overall footprint of only [Formula: see text] at 1.6 GHz. A detailed performance evaluation—including isolation, far-field radiation patterns, realized gain, envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), mean effective gain (MEG), and total active reflection coefficient (TARC)—confirms the antenna’s wideband operation, low correlation, and suitability for high-capacity, interference-resilient MIMO systems.
