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

Recently, the enzyme-inspired nanoconfinement effect has garnered significant attention for enhancing the efficiency of electrocatalysts and photocatalysts. Despite substantial progress in these fields, there remains a notable absence of comprehensive and insightful articles providing a clear understanding of nanoconfined catalysts. This review addresses this gap by delving into nanoconfined catalysts for electrocatalytic and photocatalytic energy conversion. Initially, the effect of nanoconfinement on the thermodynamics and kinetics of reactions is explored. Subsequently, the primary and secondary structures of nanoconfined catalysts are categorized, their properties are outlined, and typical methods for their construction are summarized. Furthermore, an overview of the state-of-the-art applications of nanoconfined catalysts is provided, focusing on reactions of hydrogen and oxygen evolution, oxygen reduction, carbon dioxide reduction, hydrogen peroxide production, and nitrogen reduction. Finally, the current challenges and future prospects in nanoconfined catalysts are discussed. This review aims to provide in-depth insights and guidelines to advance the development of electrocatalytic and photocatalytic energy conversion technology by nanoconfined catalysts.
