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

Understanding the electrical double layer (EDL) is fundamental for enhancing the efficiency, capacity, and stability of electrochemical systems. The EDL at the electrode/polyelectrolyte interface exhibits significantly different properties with a more complex structure compared to liquid electrolyte systems. Characterizing this intricate interface experimentally remains a major challenge. In this study, we directly observed the potential distribution at the electrode-polyelectrolyte interface using a delicate in situ electrochemical cell coupled with ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS) at various probing depths. The electrode/polyelectrolyte (graphite/Nafion) interface was successfully constructed, and the APXPS measurements were performed under nonpolarizing conditions. The binding energy shift of the F 1s photoelectron with applied bias provided the information on potential distribution. Experimental results, simulated by the typical exponential and linear potential distribution models, indicate the formation of a 1-3 nm EDL at the electrode/polyelectrolyte interface. This work provides methodological guidance for in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies and offers valuable fundamental data for electrochemical research.
