Effective electrochemical trichloroethylene removal from water enabled by selective molecular catalysis.
Article in Carbon future, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Electrochemistry can provide a viable and sustainable way to treat water polluted by chlorinated volatile organic compounds. However, the removal and valorization of trichloroethylene (TCE) remains as a challenge due to the lack of suitable electrocatalysts with high selectivity and activity. We herein present a catalyst, comprising cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) molecules assembled onto multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), that can electrochemically decompose aqueously dissolved TCE into ethylene and chloride ions at record high rates with close to 100% Faradaic efficiency. Kinetics studies reveal that the rate-determining step is the first electron transfer without proton involvement. We further show that replacing the CNT support with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) can improve the TCE treatment efficacy because of the two-dimensional nanostructure of rGO and its stronger interaction with CoPc molecules. Incorporating the CoPc/rGO catalyst into an electrified membrane filtration device, we demonstrate 95% TCE removal from simulated water samples with environmentally relevant TCE and electrolyte concentrations.
