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
The determination of the angle of arrival (AoA) of Ku-band microwave signals is of great significance in satellite communications, spectrum monitoring, and national defense security, which has created an urgent demand for high-precision and interference-resistant passive detection techniques. In this study, we propose a Rydberg-atom-based passive measurement method for estimating the AoA of Ku-band incident signals. Based on well-established quantum optical techniques, the proposed method converts the EIT-AT splitting intervals induced by waves or signals incident from different directions in Rydberg atoms within a single vapor cell into the electric-field intensity at the atomic sensor. An electric-field-intensity-angle response model is then established for AoA estimation of a 13.6 GHz wave or signal. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can determine the incident direction within a certain angular range, with an estimation error of less than 3.8°. Without the need for self-calibration and free from interference caused by actively emitted probing electromagnetic waves or reference electric fields, the proposed approach enables AoA determination of incident waves or signals using a single vapor cell with a length of 5 cm.
