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

Under the accelerating global energy restructuring and the deepening carbon neutrality strategy, hydrogen energy has emerged with increasing strategic value as a zero-carbon secondary energy carrier. Water electrolysis technology based on renewable energy is regarded as an ideal pathway for large-scale green hydrogen production. However, polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) conventional water electrolysis faces dual constraints in economic feasibility and scalability due to its high electrical energy consumption and reliance on noble metal catalysts. The mixed ionic-electronic conducting oxygen transport membrane (MIEC-OTM) reactor technology offers an innovative solution to this energy efficiency-cost paradox due to its thermo-electrochemical synergistic energy conversion mechanism and process integration. This not only overcomes the thermodynamic equilibrium limitations in traditional electrolysis but also reduces electrical energy demand by effectively coupling with medium- to high-temperature heat sources such as industrial waste heat and solar thermal energy. Therefore, this review, grounded in the physicochemical mechanisms of oxygen transport membrane reactors, systematically examines the influence of key factors, including membrane material design, catalytic interface optimization, and parameter synergy, on hydrogen production efficiency. Furthermore, it proposes a roadmap and breakthrough directions for industrial applications, focusing on enhancing intrinsic material stability, designing multi-field coupled reactors, and optimizing system energy efficiency.
