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

A low-profile, low radar cross-section (RCS) omnidirectional metasurface antenna is investigated and proposed in this letter. The antenna consists of a top circular patch, a three-layer dielectric substrate, a full metal ground, a multi-layer polarization conversion metasurface, and four short vias for connecting the top patch to the ground. Wideband impedance matching is achieved by modifying an F-shaped feeding structure. The broadband RCS reduction is realized by loading the antenna with the polarization conversion metasurface (PCM) in an appropriate array configuration. The antenna prototype has been fabricated and measured in an anechoic chamber. Experimental results illuminated that the antenna features a low profile of 0.051λ
