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

Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide, poses significant environmental and health risks due to its persistence and potential toxicity. Existing mitigation methods often face challenges such as incomplete degradation or the generation of harmful byproducts, in addition to consuming energy to operate. Herein, we report the first demonstration of glyphosate being directly used as a fuel in a microfluidic fuel cell (μFC), enabling simultaneous energy generation and pollutant degradation. The μFC features a nickel-sputtered carbon paper (Ni/CP) anode and a metal-free carbon paper (CP) cathode. The sputtering process ensures the formation of well-dispersed, high-purity Ni nanoclusters, enhancing surface activity and catalytic performance with ultralow metal loading. Coupled with hypochlorous acid (HClO) reduction on the cathode, the μFC achieved a maximum power density of 0.18 mW cm
