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 efficiency and stability of photo(electro)catalytic devices are the main criteria towards practical solar fuel production. The efficiency of photocatalysts/photoelectrodes has been intensively pursued and significant progress has been achieved over the past decades. However, the development of durable photocatalysts/photoelectrodes remains one of the biggest challenges for solar fuel production. Moreover, the lack of a feasible and reliable appraisal procedure makes it difficult to evaluate the durability of photocatalysts/photoelectrodes. Herein, a systematic process is proposed for the stability evaluation of photocatalysts/photoelectrodes. A standard operational condition should be used for the stability assessment and the stability results should be reported with the run time, operational stability, and material stability. A widely adopted standardisation for stability assessment will benefit the reliable comparison of results from different laboratories. Furthermore, the deactivation of photo(electro)catalysts is defined as a 50% decrease in productivity. The purpose of the stability assessment should aim to figure out the deactivation mechanisms of photo(electro)catalysts. A deep understanding of the deactivation mechanisms is essential for the design and development of efficient and stable photocatalysts/photoelectrodes. This work will provide insights into the stability assessment of photo(electro)catalysts and advance practical solar fuel production.
