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 work introduces a compact triple wideband Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna specifically designed for 5G applications. The antenna was designed simply by integrating three structures, each optimally nominated to operate within a specific frequency band. Subsequently, the antenna's bandwidth was enhanced by incorporating a slot on the front side and an L-shaped structure on the rear side. The compact dimension of the antenna is about 37.5 × 37.5 × 1.6 mm3, corresponding to an electrical size of 0.375λ × 0.375λ × 0.016λ at 3 GHz. The antenna is fabricated and measured. Measurement results reveal that the developed antenna shows a fractional bandwidth of about 90.91% (5 GHz), 39.9% (6.6 GHz) and 20.4% (5 GHz) (Simulated: 101.7(40.6 GHz)) in the Sub-6 gigahertz, Ku and mm-Wave bands, respectively for |S11| < - 10dB. The proposed antenna achieves measured peak gains of 5 dBi and simulated gains of 5.5 dBi, and 10.1 dBi for the Sub-6, Ku, and mm-Wave bands, respectively for |S11| < -10dB. It has excellent diversity performance, with envelope correlation coefficients (ECC) of less than 0.06, 0.002 and 0.002 for Sub-6, Ku and mm-Wave bands respectively and diversity gains (DG) greater than 9.68, 9.99 and 9.99 for the Sub-6, Ku and mm-Wave bands respectively. Good TARC values are observed at 90-degree phase for all bands. In addition, the accepted simulated CCL values are observed for all bands. Also, the simulated and the measured MEG lies within -3 dB to -4.3 dB for all bands. Moreover, the radiation patterns in the H-plane of all bands are like omnidirectional patterns and in the E plane the antenna exhibits monopole like radiation patterns for the Sub 6 and Ku bands. The versatile multiband operation makes the designed antenna a reliable solution for advanced wireless communication systems.
