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

Understanding the fundamental processes of charge carrier generation, separation, transport, and reactivity on the surface of semiconductors is crucial for the rational design of high-performance photo(electro)catalysts for various energy conversion applications. Nevertheless, the ubiquitous and intricate heterogeneity exhibited by individual catalysts poses a significant obstacle to achieving a comprehensive understanding of the structure-function relationships using bulk-level, ensemble-averaged characterizations. This review highlights the emerging operando imaging techniques capable of providing local functional information, such as surface photovoltage, photoluminescence, charge carrier reaction rate, and photocurrent, at the single particle to subparticle level. By establishing correlations between the acquired local functional information and the specific structural characteristics of the catalyst, a quantitative, holistic understanding of the structure-function relationship in photo(electro)catalysts can be achieved. This understanding can serve as a foundation for guiding the design of photocatalysts with enhanced energy conversion performance.
