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 study proposes a metasurface integrated reconfigurable unit-cell coupler designed for wireless power transfer (WPT) applications in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In near-field capacitive WPT systems, flexible UAV charging is restricted by rotational misalignment, which causes null power points (NPP) where energy transfer is suppressed. To address this, the proposed model emulates 1-bit digital coding states through Symmetric Excitation (SE) and Cross-Excitation (CE) states. Since precise unit-cell characterization is a prerequisite for array expansion, this research focuses on meta-atom-level analysis at 6.78 MHz with a deep sub-wavelength profile (0.002λ). Characterized through 3D full-wave analysis, the unit-cell achieves peak transmission coefficients of 0.945 for SE State and 0.903 for CE State. Crucially, these states exhibit complementary extinction angles at 90° and 45°, respectively, ensuring that the NPP of one state is effectively bypassed by the high transmissivity of the other. This dynamic switching between coding states maintains stable power transfer across a full 360° rotation, providing a technical foundation for scalable, intelligent metasurface-based wireless charging platforms.
