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

Dual-band impedance matching at millimeter-wave frequencies remains challenging due to elevated dielectric losses and limited control over multiple resonances beyond 20 GHz. This work introduces the ELOngated strip (ELO-strip), a compact, substrate-less copper strip galvanically connected to a substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity-backed slot antenna for controlled dual-band operation at 27 GHz and 39.8 GHz. It perturbs the cavity current distribution by extending the effective electrical path and introducing distributed inductive-capacitive loading within the SIW resonator. This electromagnetic redistribution enhances impedance coupling and significantly broadens the achievable impedance bandwidth while maintaining compact cavity dimensions. The integration of two shorting pins modifies the electromagnetic boundary conditions to enable controlled excitation of the second resonant mode without requiring additional substrate layers. An asymmetric U-slot provides selective fine-tuning of inter-band frequency spacing. The conventional SIW configuration, achieves 9.83 dBi and 7.93 dBi with bandwidths of 5.85% and 1.28% at 27 GHz and 39.8 GHz. While the ELO-strip improves the reflection coefficient by 7 dB and 9 dB,  maintaining gains of 9.03 dBi and 7.81 dBi, bandwidths of 5.74% and 1.97%, with radiation efficiency ranging from 83 to 94% across both bands. This demonstrates a controlled gain-impedance trade-off enabling application-specific designs.
