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

The development of direct methanol fuel cells is hindered by the issue of methanol crossover across membranes, despite the remarkable features resulting from the use of liquid fuel. Here we investigate the proton-selective conduction behavior across 2D graphyne in an aqueous environment. The aqueous proton conduction mechanism transitions from bare proton penetration to a mixed vehicular and Grotthuss transportation when the side length of triangular graphyne pores increases to 0.95 nm. A further increase in the side length to 1.2 nm results in the formation of a patterned aqueous/vacuum interphase, enabling protons to be conducted through the water wires via Grotthuss mechanism with low energy barriers. More importantly, it is found that 2D graphyne with the side length of less than 1.45 nm can effectively block methanol crossover, suggesting that 2D graphyne with an appropriate pore size is an ideal material to achieve zero-crossover proton-selective membranes.
