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 bifunctional catalysts is of great interest in fine chemistry, since they are capable of promoting multicatalytic reactions involved in several important industrial processes. Iron oxyhydroxides have been identified as low-cost bifunctional catalysts. However, their applications are limited due to their weak acid character. Thus, elaborated modifications of these systems can significantly contribute to increasing their activities and selectivity. This work consists in the study, through DFT calculations, of the properties of the bulk and the surface of feroxyhyte (δ-FeOOH) doped with niobium, as a potential bifunctional catalyst. We identified the formation of stronger van der Waals interactions among the doped δ-FeOOH layers, which can increase the thermal stability of the catalyst. In addition, evidence has been found that the insertion of Nb increases Brönsted acidity and gives rise to new Lewis acid sites on the catalyst surface.
