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 paper presents a novel design of a high-gain, low-profile multiband quasi-Yagi antenna. The proposed antenna will operate in the 2.45 GHz, 3.60 GHz, and 5.80 GHz frequency bands. The proposed antenna consists of a primary driven dipole printed on the sides of a substrate, two parasitic elements, and a new branch line director. The main dipole element is utilized to generate the first frequency band. The two parasitic elements added near the driven dipole excite the last two frequency bands. The proposed antenna is appropriate for multiband applications due to its directional radiation patterns and front-to-back ratios, which exceed 13.4 dB for all frequency operating bands. The single-branch line director antenna realizes gains of 6.7, 7.5, and 7.4 dBi at 2.45, 3.6, and 5.8 GHz, respectively. When the number of branch line directors increases, the antenna's gain increases over all the operating frequency bands. The realized gains with five branch line directors are 10.1, 11.8, and 11.9 dBi at 2.45, 3.6, and 5.8 GHz, respectively. Moreover, a 2 × 1 MIMO configuration is also demonstrated, achieving inter-element isolation greater than 20 dB at 2.45 GHz and 30 dB at 3.60 and 5.80 GHz, confirming the antenna's suitability for 5G, Wi-Fi, and IoT sub-6 GHz applications.
