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

Photo-/electrocatalysis serves as a cornerstone in addressing global energy shortages and environmental pollution, where the development of efficient and stable catalysts is essential yet challenging. Despite extensive efforts, it's still a formidable task to develop catalysts with excellent catalytic behaviours, stability, and low cost. Because of its high precision, favorable controllability and repeatability, radiation technology has emerged as a potent and versatile strategy for the synthesis and modification of nanomaterials. Through meticulous control of irradiation parameters, including energy, fluence and ion species, various inorganic photo-/electrocatalysts can be effectively synthesized with tailored properties. It also enables the efficient adjustment of physicochemical characteristics, such as heteroatom-doping, defect generation, heterostructure construction, micro/nanostructure control, and so on, all of which are beneficial for lowering reaction energy barriers and enhancing energy conversion efficiency. This review comprehensively outlines the principles governing radiation effects on inorganic catalysts, followed by an in-depth discussion of recent advancements in irradiation-enhanced catalysts for various photo-/electrocatalytic applications, such as hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, oxygen reduction reactions, and photocatalytic applications. Furthermore, the challenges associated with ionizing and non-ionizing radiation are discussed and potential avenues for future development are outlined. By summarizing and articulating these innovative strategies, we aim to inspire further development of sustainable energy and environmental solutions to drive a greener future.
