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

Recent advancements have been made in understanding the mechanisms and perspectives of fuel cells operating at elevated temperatures. However, the changes in electrochemical processes within the membrane electrode assembly remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the performance variation laws of membrane electrode assemblies composed of Gore12 during operation at an increasing temperature ranging from 80 to 120 °C, utilizing overpotential decomposition and electrochemical impedance analysis. The experimental results indicate that increasing back pressure can improve the performance of fuel cells, particularly at higher temperatures. The charge transfer resistance initially decreases and then increases with temperature. Furthermore, combined with the simulation results, it is demonstrated that Gore12's thin membrane structure provides excellent self-humidification, which ensures efficient proton conduction at low relative humidity. These findings offer new insights into improving the performance of PEMFCs and enabling stable operation at high temperatures.
