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

The demand for advanced automotive applications necessitated the development of 5G/6G multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antennas. This work presents a low-profile antenna resonating at 5.9 GHz, suitable for vehicle-to-vehicle communication applications. The resonance is achieved through the use of a defected ground structure and geometric modifications to the radiator. The single element antenna is converted into a MIMO antenna by employing the elements perpendicular to each other. The unit cell antenna has dimensions of 12 mm × 11 mm, and the MIMO antenna measures 42.44 mm × 43.56 mm. The antenna reflection coefficient has been evaluated and is found to be less than -10 dB across the operating band. The tetra-port MIMO antenna achieves greater than 20 dB isolation without the use of any isolation structures. The proposed antenna shows the gain of 3.8 dBi, and efficiency of 87% at the operating frequency. Diversity parameters are evaluated to better understand the performance of the suggested MIMO antenna. The proposed MIMO antenna exhibits an envelope correlation coefficient below 0.1, a diversity gain above 9.9 dB, a total active reflection coefficient below -10 dB, channel capacity loss below 0.4 bits/s/Hz and MEG ratio is close to unity. When installed in the vehicle, the antenna is unaffected by interference from nearby radiators and the metal body of the car.
