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

Nanocatalysts, including nanozymes, photocatalysts and sonocatalysts, have been investigated to trigger catalytic reactions in vivo to regulate biological microenvironments and stimulate therapeutic effects. Compared with lower metal atom utilization rate and catalytic activity of conventional nanocatalysts, single-metal atom catalysts (SACs) usually possess higher catalytic activity and selectivity owing to their well-defined structures and maximized atom utilization. Their properties are, however, strongly dependent on their composition and the preparation procedure. Here we describe the design, preparation and functionalization of SACs with single-metal atoms positioned within nitrogen-doped carbon supports. The SACs are prepared by pyrolysis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) or polydopamine-derived materials. Their properties depend on, for example, the metal chosen and atoms available for coordination; four example procedures are described: Cu-N
