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

Anthropogenic climate change urgently calls for the greening and intensification of the chemical industry. Most chemical reactors make use of catalysts to increase their conversion yields, but their operation at steady-state temperatures limits their rate, selectivity, and energy efficiency. Here, we show how to break such a steady-state paradigm using ultrashort light pulses and photothermal nanoparticle arrays to modulate the temperature of catalytic sites at timescales typical of chemical processes. Using heat dissipation and time-dependent microkinetic modeling for a number of catalytic landscapes, we numerically demonstrate that pulsed photothermal catalysis can result in a favorable, dynamic mode of operation with higher energy efficiency, higher catalyst activity than for any steady-state temperature, reactor operation at room temperature, resilience against catalyst poisons, and access to adsorbed reagent distributions that are normally out of reach. Our work identifies the key experimental parameters controlling reaction rates in pulsed heterogeneous catalysis and provides specific recommendations to explore its potential in real experiments, paving the way to a more energy-efficient and process-intensive operation of catalytic reactors.
