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

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have become one of the most attractive frontier research fields in catalysis and energy conversion. However, due to the atomic heterogeneity of SACs and limitations of ensemble-averaged measurements, the essential active sites responsible for governing specific catalytic properties and mechanisms remain largely concealed. In this study, we develop a quantitative method of single-atom catalysis-fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (SAC-FCS), leveraging the atomic structure-dependent catalysis kinetics and single-turnover resolution of single-molecule fluorescence microscopy. This method enables us to investigate the oxidase-like single-molecule catalysis on unidentical iron-nitrogen (Fe-N) coordinated SACs, quantifying the active sites and their kinetic parameters. The findings reveal the significant differences of single sites from the average behaviors and corroborate the oxidase-like catalytic mechanism of the Fe-N active sites. We anticipate that the method will give essential insights into the rational design and application of SACs.
