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 intrinsic anhydrous proton conductivity and conduction mechanisms of solid electrolytes is of fundamental academic importance for their application in next-generation, non-humidified fuel cells. In this study, we investigated the anhydrous proton conductivity of single crystals of imidazolium dihydrogen phosphate (1), a material in which rotational motion of both the acid and base components is expected to contribute to the conduction mechanism. By controlling the crystallization conditions, we successfully and selectively prepared two polymorphs: a thermodynamically stable, non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic form (1A) and a metastable, centrosymmetric monoclinic form (1B). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the stable phase 1A revealed an anisotropic crystal structure with one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding phosphate chains connected with N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with imidazolium. Nevertheless, the intrinsic anhydrous proton conductivity, evaluated using single crystals, exhibited nearly isotropic behavior with minimal directional dependence. Solid-state
