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

Direct glucose fuel cells (DGFCs) and direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) commonly supply the reducing agent in liquid (aq.) form. In this work, we present key characteristics of implementing cellulose acetate (CA) coatings, which can subsequently be deacetylated toward cellulose, on carbon cloth used as a fuel diffusion layer in aqueous fuel-fed cells. Specifically, we illustrate functionality with an abiotic glucose fuel cell. Carbon cloth with and without a CA coating (with varying deacetylation) was characterized in terms of liquid permeation rate, electronic conductivity, and roll-off angle wetting characteristics. Additionally, fuel cell power production was measured over a variety of fuel concentrations and alkalinities by generating polarization curve data. These coatings facilitated a significant increase in aqueous solution permeation and adhesion properties, as well as providing up to two-fold increases in maximum power generation in an alkaline DGFC, despite experiencing some decreased conductivity of the carbon cloth diffusion layer.
