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

The dynamic performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) under high current density (HCD) rapid loading is crucial for commercialization. This study introduces an advanced temperature difference (TD) design featuring an in-plane temperature gradient. By reconstructing cooling channels, optimal temperature distribution across the upstream, midstream, and downstream regions achieves balanced water-gas-heat conditions, enhancing the dynamic response of PEMFCs under HCD loading. Various TD designs are investigated across a broad humidity range, innovatively focusing on key moments involving load initiation, transient voltage minimum (TVM), and steady-state voltage (SSV). Comprehensive evaluations encompassing voltage response and energy consumption assess TD enhancements, while electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and local current density monitoring further elucidate underlying mechanisms. Results show the positive temperature difference (PTD) design enhances hydration upstream and mitigates flooding downstream under low-humidity conditions. Conversely, the negative temperature difference (NTD) design tends to dehydration upstream and flooding downstream. At RH = 35%, the PTD design increases TVM by 18.2%, decreases voltage undershoot (VU) by 12.5%, raises SSV by 5.67%, and enhances electricity output by 7%. As humidity increases, the positive effect of the PTD design gradually weakens, though it still benefits the current density distribution uniformity.
