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 surface chemistry of catalyst nanoparticles is crucial for understanding catalytic mechanisms of reactions significant for chemical transformation, energy conversion and environmental sustainability. To enable a high-vacuum X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) system to characterize nanoparticle surfaces in liquid or gas phase using a differentially pumped energy analyzer, major and substantial modifications to the high-vacuum XPS instrumentation are required. In this protocol we describe a membrane-separated cell-based XPS approach that allows characterization of the surface of catalyst nanoparticles dispersed in a flowing liquid or gas (at 2 bar) without any instrumental modification to a high-vacuum X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. The cell features a double-layer graphene membrane that separates a catalyst and its reaction environment from the high-vacuum environment of the high-vacuum XPS system. The graphene membrane is assembled onto the pore of a modified Si
