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

The increasing demand for efficient and sustainable energy conversion technologies has driven extensive research into alternative electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Platinum-based catalysts, while highly efficient, suffer from high costs, scarcity, and long-term instability Laser-Induced Graphene (LIG) has recently attracted considerable interest as an effective metal-free electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), owing to its remarkable electrical conductivity, customizable surface functionalities, and multi-scale porous architecture. This review explores the synthesis strategies, physicochemical properties, and ORR catalytic performance of LIG. Additionally, this review offered a detailed overview regarding the effective pole of heteroatom doping (N, S, P, B) and functionalization techniques to enhance catalytic activity. Finally, we highlight the current challenges and future perspectives of LIG-based ORR catalysts for fuel cells and other electrochemical energy applications. Furthermore, laser-induced-graphene (LIG) has emerged as a highly attractive candidate for electrochemical energy conversion systems, due to its large specific surface area, tunable porosity, excellent electrical conductivity, and cost-effective fabrication process. This review discusses recent advancements in LIG synthesis, its structural and electrochemical properties, and its applications in supercapacitors, batteries, fuel cells, and electrocatalysis. Despite its advantages, challenges such as mechanical stability, electrochemical degradation, and large-scale production remain key areas for improvement. Additionally, this review explores future perspectives on optimizing LIG for next-generation energy storage and conversion technologies.
