Best practices for in-situ and operando techniques within electrocatalytic systems.
Review in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers.
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.
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
In-situ and operando techniques in heterogeneous electrocatalysis are a powerful tool used to elucidate reaction mechanisms. Ultimately, they are key in determining concrete links between a catalyst's physical/electronic structure and its activity en route to designing next-generation systems. To this end, the exact execution and interpretation of these lines of experiments is critical as this determines the strength of conclusions that can be drawn and what uncertainties remain. Instead of focusing on how techniques were used to understand systems, as is the case with most reviews on the topic, this work instead initiates a nuanced discussion of 1) how to best carry out each technique and 2) initiate a nuanced analysis of which level of insights can be drawn from the set of in-situ or operando experiments/controls carried out. We focus on several commonly used techniques, including vibrational (IR, Raman) spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and electrochemical mass spectrometry. In addition to this, we include sections of reactor design and the link with theoretical modelling that are applicable across all techniques. While we focus on heterogeneous electrocatalysis, we make links when appropriate to the areas of photo- and thermo-catalytic systems. We highlight common pitfalls in the field, how to avoid them, and what sets of complementary experiments may be used to strengthen the analysis. We end with an overview of what gaps remain in in-situ and operando techniques and what innovations must be made to overcome them.
