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

Programmable metasurfaces show great application potential in many fields, so studying their radar cross-section reduction (RCSR) characteristics is very important. Metasurfaces based on polarization conversion and artificial magnetic conductors are widely used for RCSR, but they cannot scan beams. Programmable metasurfaces can dynamically steer beams in-band and reduce RCS by changing the phase of electromagnetic waves. But to meet practical needs, they must be stealthy both in-band and out-of-band. This paper presents a low-profile self-stealth programmable metasurface. Self-stealth describes the capability of the metasurface to achieve in-band and out-of-band RCSR through its intrinsic design, without requiring additional structures such as radomes or absorbing materials. The design principle is to achieve out-of-band RCS reduction without increasing the profile height or adding extra radio frequency components. The meta-atom has a positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) diode to control the in-band (
