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

General-purpose electromagnetic model is central to intelligent electromagnetic applications. However, its development is limited by severe scarcity of training data, arising from the high computational cost of full-wave simulations and reliance on specialized topologies that yield single EM function. To overcome this challenge, we introduce a metacircuit-embedded surface (MCES) framework, consisting of a fixed structural topology and flexible metacircuits that can be realized through lumped components. By shifting design focus from full-wave simulation to circuit-level modeling, over six million samples can be easily generated with laptop computation resources. Subsequently, an MCES-based forward and inverse AI design method was developed, providing rich design capability in frequency, amplitude, phase and polarization domains. Finally, three kinds of classical metasurfaces were designed and fabricated, showing superior performance compared to reported advanced designs. Overall, the proposed MCES-based framework greatly raises the design efficiency and training scale, paving the way for future general-purpose electromagnetic model.
