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

In situ electrochemistry on micron and submicron-sized individual particles and thin layers is a valuable, emerging tool for process understanding and optimization in a variety of scientific and technological fields such as material science, process technology, analytical chemistry, and environmental sciences. Electrochemical characterization and manipulation coupled with soft X-ray spectromicroscopy helps identify, quantify, and optimize processes in complex systems such as those with high heterogeneity in the spatial and/or temporal domain. Here we present a novel platform optimized for in situ electrochemistry with variable liquid electrolyte flow in soft X-ray scanning transmission X-ray microscopes (STXM). With four channels for fluid control and a modular design, it is suited for a wealth of experimental conditions. We demonstrate its capabilities by proving the reversible oxidation and reduction of individual microbial biofilm structures formed by microaerophilic Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria, also known as twisted stalks. We show spectromicroscopically the heterogeneity of the redox activity on the submicron scale. Examples are also provided of electrochemical modification of liquid electrolyte species (Fe(II) and Fe(III) cyanides), and in situ studies of electrodeposited copper nanoparticles as CO
