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

In this paper, we propose a single-layer metasurface structure with ultra-wideband operation and high polarization conversion efficiency, capable of transforming linearly polarized waves into cross-polarized waves. This structure excites additional electromagnetic resonance modes by integrating two symmetrical square patches within an anisotropic split-ring resonator (SRR). These new modes couple with the inherent resonance modes of the SRR, forming closely spaced multi-resonance characteristics across a wide frequency band. This multi-resonance capability enables broadband polarization conversion. This metasurface achieves an ultra-wideband performance spanning 10.89 GHz to 30.12 GHz, covering part of the X-band, the entire Ku-band, and the K-band, while maintaining a high polarization conversion efficiency exceeding 90%. Its broadband characteristics are attributed to the resonator's ability to generate multiple resonances within a single unit cell. Both experimental and simulation results demonstrate the metasurface's excellent polarization conversion performance. Furthermore, the proposed metasurface maintains acceptable oblique-incidence performance over a large portion of the operating band, although localized degradation appears at some frequencies. This structure offers significant advantages over traditional multilayer or active designs, featuring simple fabrication without assembly or welding. It may be useful for broadband polarization conversion and may also provide potential for scattering-control applications.
