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

High entropy metal chalcogenides are materials containing five or more elements within a disordered sublattice. These materials exploit a high configurational entropy to stabilize their crystal structure and have recently become an area of significant interest for renewable energy applications such as electrocatalysis and thermoelectrics. Herein, we report the synthesis of bulk particulate HE zinc sulfide analogues containing four, five, and seven metals. This was achieved using a molecular precursor cocktail approach with both transition and main group metal dithiocarbamate complexes which are decomposed simultaneously in a rapid (1 h) and low-temperature (500 °C) thermolysis reaction to yield high entropy and entropy-stabilized metal sulfides. The resulting materials were characterized by powder XRD, SEM, and TEM, alongside EDX spectroscopy at both the micro- and nano-scales. The entropy-stabilized (CuAgZnCoMnInGa)S material was demonstrated to be an excellent electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction when combined with conducting carbon black, achieving a low onset overpotential of (∼80 mV) and η
