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 structure of Ni films is essential to their electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The pH value and EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) additive are important factors for the structure control of electrodeposited metal films due to their adjustment of metal electrocrystallization and hydrogen evolution side reactions. The structures of Ni films from 3D (three-dimensional) porous to compact and flat structure are electrodeposited by adjusting solution pH values or adding EDTA. It is found that when pH value increases from 7.7 to 8.1, 3D porous films change to compact films with many protrusions. Further increasing the pH value or adding 0.1 M EDTA causes compact and flat films without protrusions to appear. When pH ≤ 7.7, hydrogen bubbles with large break-off diameter are easily adsorbed on film surface acting as porous structure templates, and the electroactive ion species, Ni
