A Review of Microstrip Patch Antenna-Based Passive Sensors.
Review in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
This paper briefly overviews and discusses the existing techniques using antennas for passive sensing, starting from the antenna operating principle and antenna structural design to different antenna-based sensing mechanisms. The effects of different electrical properties of the material used to design an antenna, such as conductivity, loss tangent, and resistivity, are discussed to illustrate the fundamental sensing mechanisms. Furthermore, the key parameters, such as operating frequency and antenna impedance, along with the factors affecting the sensing performance, are discussed. Overall, passive sensing using an antenna is mainly achieved by altering the reflected wave characteristics in terms of center frequency, return loss, phase, and received/reflected signal strength. The advantages and drawbacks of each technique are also discussed briefly. Given the increasing relevance, millimeter-wave antenna sensors and resonator sensors are also discussed with their applications and recent advancements. This paper primarily focuses on microstrip-based radiating structures and insights for further sensing performance improvement using passive antennas, which are outlined in this study. In addition, suggestions are made for the current scientific and technical challenges, and future directions are discussed.
