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 cathode channel of air-cooled open-cathode proton exchange membrane fuel cell (AO-PEMFC) is both a reactant supply channel and a cooling and heat dissipation channel, and its structural design is a key factor affecting its output performance. Firstly, the numerical study of AO-PEMFC with different cathode channel bending angles was carried out, and the results showed that the output performance of a single cell with a cathode bending angle of 2.5° was improved by 3.88% compared with that of a single cell with a cathode straight channel at rated point-density electricity, and the cathode voltage drop increased by only 1.5%. In addition, in order to further improve the power density of the fuel cell, two agent models, support vector regression and Gaussian process regression, are constructed and trained, and a genetic algorithm is used to find the parameter optimization for the bending angle, width and height of the cathode channel. Finally, the proposed ranges of width, height and bending angle of the optimal flow channel are obtained, which are w = 1.1-1.2 mm, d = 1.3-1.5 mm and θ = 2.23°-2.99°, respectively, and the output power density of a single cell within this range will be no less than 0.489 W/cm
