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

Electrolytic hydrogen production using abundant water and renewable electricity is a key step toward achieving a carbon-neutral economy. Anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzers (AEMWE) present an opportunity to enhance sustainability and reduce the costs of green hydrogen technology. This study focuses on reducing electrical losses in the AEMWE by designing an improved anode catalyst layer. The approach involves modifying nickel foam by using a microporous nickel ink. This modification not only smooths the nickel foam to prevent membrane punctures during compression assembly but also enhances the utilization of the mesoporous NiO (mesoNiO) catalyst in the anode process, namely, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The anode leverages a mechanism where both the mesoNiO catalyst and the nickel powder layer participate in the OER, hosting a NiOOH intermediate formed through surface oxidation. By optimization of the mass loading, the design achieves a balance between smooth membrane-electrode contact, reduced kinetic losses during the OER, and efficient ionic transport. As a result, the optimized AEMWE reaches a competitive current density of 2.6 A cm
