Ligand engineering towards electrocatalytic urea synthesis on a molecular catalyst.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Electrocatalytic C-N coupling from carbon dioxide and nitrate provides a sustainable alternative to the conventional energy-intensive urea synthetic protocol, enabling wastes upgrading and value-added products synthesis. The design of efficient and stable electrocatalysts is vital to promote the development of electrocatalytic urea synthesis. In this work, copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) is adopted as a modeling catalyst toward urea synthesis owing to its accurate and adjustable active configurations. Combining experimental and theoretical studies, it can be observed that the intramolecular Cu-N coordination can be strengthened with optimization in electronic structure by amino substitution (CuPc-Amino) and the electrochemically induced demetallation is efficiently suppressed, serving as the origination of its excellent activity and stability. Compared to that of CuPc (the maximum urea yield rate of 39.9 ± 1.9 mmol h
