Challenges and Perspectives of Single-Atom-Based Catalysts for Electrochemical Reactions.
Review in JACS Au, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.
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
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are emerging as the most promising catalysts for various electrochemical reactions. The isolated dispersion of metal atoms enables high density of active sites, and the simplified structure makes them ideal model systems to study the structure-performance relationships. However, the activity of SACs is still insufficient, and the stability of SACs is usually inferior but has received little attention, hindering their practical applications in real devices. Moreover, the catalytic mechanism on a single metal site is unclear, leading the development of SACs to rely on trial-and-error experiments. How can one break the current bottleneck of active sites density? How can one further increase the activity/stability of metal sites? In this Perspective, we discuss the underlying reasons for the current challenges and identify precisely controlled synthesis involving designed precursors and innovative heat-treatment techniques as the key for the development of high-performance SACs. In addition, advanced operando characterizations and theoretical simulations are essential for uncovering the true structure and electrocatalytic mechanism of an active site. Finally, future directions that may arise breakthroughs are discussed.
