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

We demonstrate the application and benefit of optically transparent carbon electrodes (OTCEs) for single entity nanoelectrochemistry. OTCEs are prepared by pyrolyzing thin photoresist films on fused quartz coverslips to create conductive, transparent, thin films. Optical, electrical, topographical, and electrochemical properties of OTCEs are characterized to evaluate their suitability for single entity electrochemistry. Nanoscale electrochemical imaging of the OTCEs using scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) revealed uniform electrochemical activity for reduction of the hexaammineruthenium(III) redox complex, that was comparable to Au-coated glass, and in contrast to the heterogeneity observed with commonly used indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates. Additionally, we demonstrate the utility of the prepared OTCEs for correlative SECCM-scanning electron microscopy studies of the hydrogen evolution reaction at the surface of Au nanocubes. Lastly, we demonstrate the benefit of OTCEs for optoelectrochemical experiments by optically monitoring the electrodissolution of Au nanocrystals. These results establish OTCE as a viable transparent support electrode for multimode electrochemical and optical microscopy of nanocrystals and other entities.
