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

Dual-atom catalysts (DACs) exhibit high catalytic activity and metal utilization, alongside structural diversity with a wide range of catalytic site configurations. These features position DACs as promising candidates for energy conversion technologies. However, the precise control over atomic dispersion, pairing ratios and interatomic distances-which critically influence their multifunctional catalytic behavior-remains a formidable challenge. Here we developed a ligand-restricted strategy for the precise synthesis of highly paired DACs with tunable atomic distances. This was accomplished by coordinating diamine ligands with dual-metal precursors, restricting the pairing and relative positions of two metal atoms on two-dimensional graphitic carbon nitride. The atomic pairing ratio exceeded 82%, and the atomic pairing distance was controlled by the chain length of the diamine ligand. As a demonstration, the paired Pt
