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 flow field structure of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a determining factor for improving the cell power density. In this study, a universal alternating flow field design for the first time is proposed, which arranges structural units with different flow resistances in an alternating way to significantly improve the gas transfer rate into the electrode, with the advantages of easy machining and low pumping loss. Based on the design, it is proposed and tested large-scale fuel cells with three novel flow fields by combining a parallel channel, baffled channel, serpentine channel, and narrowed channel. The results show that the design can significantly enhance the gas supply efficiency and that the novel baffled flow field improves the PEMFC performance by 23% with low pumping loss. The design employed in the study offers additional options for flow field optimization and contributes to the early achievement of next-generation ultrahigh power density fuel cells.
