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

Implantable and wearable devices require antennas that are both miniaturized and efficient, yet conventional designs are constrained by narrow bandwidth and orientation sensitivity. We report overtone ultrawideband magnetoelectric (OUWB-ME) antennas that exploit higher-order acoustic modes in polished silicon substrates to achieve a 22.6-gigahertz -10-decibel bandwidth and overtone capability in the 3- to 4-gigahertz range. Packaged into "μBots," these magnetoelectric heterostructures bonded with silver nanoparticle inks maintain stable operation under biological loading. In vitro assays confirm the biocompatibility of aluminum nitride and the protective role of parylene encapsulation for iron-gallium. Ex vivo rat and human tissues reshape transmission and reflection spectra, with reproducible frequency windows near 3.3 and 3.9 gigahertz. μBots enable real-time audiovisual telemetry using software-defined radios and exhibit compatibility with 7-tesla magnetic resonance imaging. By combining wideband response, robustness to misalignment, and biocompatible packaging, OUWB-ME μBots provide a scalable platform for wireless bio-integrated communication and telemetry.
