Mimicking reductive dehalogenases for efficient electrocatalytic water dechlorination.
Article in Nature communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Electrochemical technology is a robust approach to removing toxic and persistent chlorinated organic pollutants from water; however, it remains a challenge to design electrocatalysts with high activity and selectivity as elaborately as natural reductive dehalogenases. Here we report the design of high-performance electrocatalysts toward water dechlorination by mimicking the binding pocket configuration and catalytic center of reductive dehalogenases. Specifically, our designed electrocatalyst is an assembled heterostructure by sandwiching a molecular catalyst into the interlayers of two-dimensional graphene oxide. The electrocatalyst exhibits excellent dechlorination performance, which enhances reduction of intermediate dichloroacetic acid by 7.8 folds against that without sandwich configuration and can selectively generate monochloro-groups from trichloro-groups. Molecular simulations suggest that the sandwiched inner space plays an essential role in tuning solvation shell, altering protonation state and facilitating carbon-chlorine bond cleavage. This work demonstrates the concept of mimicking natural reductive dehalogenases toward the sustainable treatment of organohalogen-contaminated water and wastewater.
