Bidirectional Hydrogen Electrocatalysis on Epitaxial Graphene.
Article in ACS omega, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The climate change due to human activities stimulates the research on new energy resources. Hydrogen has attracted interest as a green carrier of high energy density. The sustainable production of hydrogen is achievable only by water electrolysis based on the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Graphitic materials are widely utilized in this technology in the role of conductive catalyst supports. Herein, by performing dynamic and steady-state electrochemical measurements in acidic and alkaline media, we investigated the bidirectional electrocatalysis of the HER and hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) on metal- and defect-free epigraphene (EG) grown on 4H silicon carbide (4H-SiC) as a ground level of structural organization of general graphitic materials. The absence of any signal degradation illustrates the high stability of EG. The experimental and theoretical investigations yield the coherent conclusion on the dominant HER pathway following the Volmer-Tafel mechanism. We ascribe the observed reactivity of EG to its interaction with the underlying SiC substrate that induces strain and electronic doping. The computed high activation energy for breaking the O-H bond is linked to the high negative overpotential of the HER. The estimated exchange current of HER/HOR on EG can be used in the evaluation of complex electrocatalytic systems based on graphite as a conducing support.
