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

Electro-oxidation is a promising green technology for decentralized wastewater purification. However, its efficacy is primarily constrained by the selectivity and efficiency of hydroxyl radical (•OH) generation through one-electron water oxidation. In this study, we elucidate the mechanism of electronic metal-support interactions (EMSI) of Ni single-atoms on antimony-doped tin oxide anode (Ni/ATO) to enhance •OH production and overall water treatment efficiency. We experimentally and theoretically investigate both the structural evolution process and micro-interface mechanisms associated with the EMSI effects induced by Ni single-atoms. The optimized electronic structures in the interfacial catalysts under EMSI conditions and the co-catalytic role of Ni single-atoms synergistically facilitate selective and efficient •OH generation, resulting in over a fivefold increase in its steady-state concentration and tenfold enhancement in pseudo-first-order rate constant of sulfamethoxazole degradation compared to those on bare ATO. With the EMSI, rapid electron transfer channels were established for a marked enhancement in the adsorption, conversion, and dissociation of interfacial H
