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 performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) can be significantly influenced by the physical properties of the flow field design. In this study, nickel foam with varying physical parameters-compression (porosity), pore size, hydrophobicity, and anti-corrosion surface treatments-are systematically investigated to evaluate their influence on PEMFC electrochemical performance, water management, and corrosion resistance. The results reveal that moderate compression (67%), corresponding to a porosity of 85%, offers the optimal balance between electrical conductivity and mass transport, achieving the highest power density of 0.918 W cm
