Pulsed electrosynthesis of glycolic acid through polyethylene terephthalate upcycling over a mesoporous PdCu catalyst.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Electrocatalytic upcycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics offers a promising and sustainable route that not only addresses serious waste pollution but also produces high value-added chemicals. Despite some important achievements, their activity and selectivity have been slower than needed. In this work, pulsed electrocatalysis is employed to engineer chemisorption properties on a lamellar mesoporous PdCu (LM-PdCu) catalyst, which delivers high activity and stability for selective electrosynthesis of high value-added glycolic acid (GA) from PET upcycling under ambient conditions. LM-PdCu is synthesized by in situ nucleation and attachment strategy along assembled lamellar templates, whose stacked morphology and lamellar mesoporous structure kinetically accelerate selective desorption of GA and expose fresh active sites of metal catalysts for continuous electrocatalysis at pulsed mode. This strategy thus delivers GA Faraday efficiency of >92% in wide potential windows, yield rate of reaching 0.475 mmol cm
