A review of reconfigurable metasurfaces for radar applications.
Review in iScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Reconfigurable metasurfaces (RMSs) have emerged as powerful platforms for programmable manipulation of electromagnetic waves. Although widely studied in communications, imaging, and information security, RMSs have recently gained growing attention in radar systems. This growing interest calls for a systematic and application-oriented synthesis of metasurface-enabled radar technologies. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of RMS-enabled radar applications from both functional and architectural perspectives. Recent advances are organized into five major domains: radar signal generation and modulation, radar deception and jamming, scattering control and stealth, direction-of-arrival estimation, and joint radar-communication systems. For each domain, we summarize the operating principles, functional roles, and representative system implementations of RMSs, highlighting how programmable electromagnetic interfaces are reshaping conventional radar architectures. Finally, we discuss key challenges related to performance limitations and outline future research directions. This review provides a structured and application-driven perspective on the evolving role of RMS in next-generation radar systems.
