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

Electrosynthesis has the potential to revolutionize industrial organic synthesis sustainably and efficiently. However, high cell voltages and low stability often arise due to solubility issues with organic solvents, while protic electrolytes restrict substrate options. We present a three-layered electrode design that enables the use of concentrated to neat substrate feeds. This design separates the organic substrate from the aqueous electrolyte using layers with varying porosity and hydrophilicity, ensuring precise reactant transport to the catalyst layer while minimizing substrate and electrolyte crossover. We demonstrate its effectiveness by semi-hydrogenating three alkynols with different hydrophobicities. For the semi-hydrogenation of 3-methyl-1-pentyn-3-ol in pure form, we achieved 65% faradaic efficiency at 80 mA cm
