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

Single-atom catalysts characterized by their novel electronic configurations and exceptional atomic utilization efficiency have emerged as potential alternatives to costly noble metal catalysts, garnering extensive research attention in various electrocatalytic fields. However, the inherent characteristics of single metal centers constrain their further application in catalyzing multi-electron reactions. In contrast, multi-atom catalysts (MACs), particularly dual-atom catalysts (DACs), possess multiple active metal sites that can significantly enhance catalytic performance through synergistic effects. This review summarizes recent developments in multi-atom catalysts, focusing on synthesis methods, design strategies, and the correlation between interatomic synergy and catalytic efficiency. Furthermore, we discuss their applications in key electrochemical reactions, including the hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, and oxygen evolution reaction. Finally, we outline the opportunities and challenges in this field to guide the development of high-efficiency catalysts for sustainable energy conversion applications.
