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

Platinum (Pt) is widely used as an activator in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). However, the development of Pt catalyst is hindered due to its high cost and CO poisoning. A multi-metallic catalyst is a promising catalyst for fuel cells. We develop a simple and rapid method to synthesize PtNiCo/rGO nanocomposites (NCs). The PtNiCo/rGO NCs catalyst was obtained by microwave-assisted synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) with Pt, Ni, and Co precursors in ethylene glycol (EG) solution after heating for 20 min. The Pt-Ni-Co nanoparticles showed a narrow particle size distribution and were uniformly dispersed on the reduced graphene oxide without agglomeration. Compared with PtNiCo catalyst, PtNiCo/rGO NCs have superior electrocatalytic properties, including a large electrochemical active surface area (ECSA), the high catalytic activity of methanol, excellent anti-toxic properties, and high electrochemical stability. The ECSA can be up to 87.41 m
