Electrochemical Nitrogen Reduction: The Energetic Distance to Lithium.
Article in ACS energy letters, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Energy-efficient electrochemical reduction of nitrogen to ammonia could help in mitigating climate change. Today, only Li- and recently Ca-mediated systems can perform the reaction. These materials have a large intrinsic energy loss due to the need to electroplate the metal. In this work, we present a series of calculated energetics, formation energies, and binding energies as fundamental features to calculate the energetic distance between Li and Ca and potential new electrochemical nitrogen reduction systems. The featured energetic distance increases with the standard potential. However, dimensionality reduction using principal component analysis provides an encouraging picture; Li and Ca are not exceptional in this feature space, and other materials should be able to carry out the reaction. However, it becomes more challenging the more positive the plating potential is.
