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

Lattice oxygen-mediated photocatalytic ethane dehydrogenation represents a sustainable strategy for ethylene production, yet achieving a balance between high productivity, selectivity, and durability remains challenging. Here, we report a defective NiO-300 catalyst, where precisely engineered Ni vacancies activate lattice oxygen by weakening Ni-O bond and improving lattice oxygen mobility. This promotes efficient ethane activation and C-H bonds cleavage through photoinduced hole capture, intensifying ethane dehydrogenation via a light-boosted Mars-van Krevelen mechanism. The NiO-300 catalyst manifests a high ethylene yield of 604.5 μmol g
