Disentangling heterogeneous thermocatalytic formic acid dehydrogenation from an electrochemical perspective.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
Heterogeneous thermocatalysis of formic acid dehydrogenation by metals in solution is of great importance for chemical storage and production of hydrogen. Insightful understanding of the complicated formic acid dehydrogenation kinetics at the metal-solution interface is challenging and yet essential for the design of efficient heterogeneous formic acid dehydrogenation systems. In this work, formic acid dehydrogenation kinetics is initially studied from a perspective of electrochemistry by decoupling this reaction on Pd catalyst into two short-circuit half reactions, formic acid oxidation reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction and manipulating the electrical double layer impact from the solution side. The pH-dependences of formic acid dehydrogenation kinetics and the associated cation effect are attributed to the induced change of electric double layer structure and potential by means of electrochemical measurements involving kinetic isotope effect, in situ infrared spectroscopy as well as grand canonical quantum mechanics calculations. This work showcases how kinetic puzzles on some important heterogeneous catalytic reactions can be tackled by electrochemical theories and methodologies.
