Size Effects of Atomically Precise Gold Nanoclusters in Catalysis.
Review in Precision chemistry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
The emergence of ligand-protected, atomically precise gold nanoclusters (NCs) in recent years has attracted broad interest in catalysis due to their well-defined atomic structures and intriguing properties. Especially, the precise formulas of NCs provide an opportunity to study the size effects at the atomic level without complications by the polydispersity in conventional nanoparticles that obscures the relationship between the size/structure and properties. Herein, we summarize the catalytic size effects of atomically precise, thioate-protected gold NCs in the range of tens to hundreds of metal atoms. The catalytic reactions include electrochemical catalysis, photocatalysis, and thermocatalysis. With the precise sizes and structures, the fundamentals underlying the size effects are analyzed, such as the surface area, electronic properties, and active sites. In the catalytic reactions, one or more factors may exert catalytic effects simultaneously, hence leading to different catalytic-activity trends with the size change of NCs. The summary of literature work disentangles the underlying fundamental mechanisms and provides insights into the size effects. Future studies will lead to further understanding of the size effects and shed light on the catalytic active sites and ultimately promote catalyst design at the atomic level.
