Structure-Activity Relationship of Defective Metal-Based Photocatalysts for Water Splitting: Experimental and Theoretical Perspectives.
Review in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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
Photocatalytic water splitting is promising for hydrogen energy production using solar energy and developing highly efficient photocatalysts is challenging. Defect engineering is proved to be a very useful strategy to promote the photocatalytic performance of metal-based photocatalysts, however, the vital role of defects is still ambiguous. This work comprehensively reviews point defective metal-based photocatalysts for water splitting, focusing on understanding the defects' disorder effect on optical adsorption, charge separation and migration, and surface reaction. The controllable synthesis and tuning strategies of defective structure to improve the photocatalytic performance are summarized, then the characterization techniques and density functional theory calculations are discussed to unveil the defect structure, and analyze the defects induced electronic structure change of catalysts and its ultimate effect on the photocatalytic activity at the molecular level. Finally, the challenge in developing more efficient defective metal-based photocatalysts is outlined. This work may help further the understanding of the fundamental role of defect structure in the photocatalytic reaction process and guide the rational design and fabrication of highly efficient and low-cost photocatalysts.
