Spin-Polarized Electron Transport Promotes the Oxygen Reduction Reaction.
Article in ACS nano, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Oxygen evolution (OER) and oxygen reduction (ORR) reactions are central to the efficiency of electrolysis and fuel cells, involving the paramagnetic triplet ground state of oxygen and the singlet ground state of water. Here, we demonstrate that spin-polarized currents enhance the ORR activity. Using a silver-coated nickel electrode over a neodymium (Nd) magnet, we observed that ORR performance is maximized when the Ag layer is thinner than the spin diffusion length of silver─conditions under which spin alignment at the electrode-electrolyte interface is maintained. In contrast, experiments with thicker Ag layers lead to spin relaxation and diminished electrocatalytic activity. A model description of this system shows that a substantial spin polarization at the interface is accompanied by a large two-electron transfer, which satisfies conservation of angular momentum during ORR. These findings highlight the critical role of spin-selective charge transfer and offer insights into the control of reaction pathways in oxygen electrocatalysis.
