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

Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) are both two-electron processes that culminate in the formation or consumption of gaseous hydrogen in an electrolyzer or a fuel cell, respectively. Unitized regenerative proton exchange membrane fuel cells merge these two functionalities into one device, allowing to switch between the two modes of operation. This prompts the quest for efficient bifunctional electrode materials catalyzing the HER and HOR with reasonable reaction rates at low overpotentials. In the present study using a data-driven framework, we identify a general criterion for efficient bifunctional performance in the hydrogen electrocatalysis, which refers to a change in the reaction mechanism when switching from cathodic to anodic working conditions. The obtained insight can be used in future studies based on density functional theory to pave the design of efficient HER and HOR catalysts by a dedicated consideration of the kinetics in the analysis of reaction mechanisms.
