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

Plasmonic photocatalysis offers a promising route to harvest solar energy and drive chemical reactions by the generated heat and energetic charge carriers towards a low-carbon economy. Understanding the mechanisms of plasmonic photocatalysis is vital for the rational design of efficient catalysts but remains a great challenge. Here we report the discovery of an overlooked photocatalytic mechanism based on the enhanced coverage of CO on an Au-Ni heterostructure under light. Detailed studies reveal that hot carrier transfer from Au to Ni via plasmonic excitation increases the electron density of Ni, thereby boosting the population of Ni sites capable of CO adsorption. This increase in active CO-binding sites, rather than local heating or altered adsorption properties of individual Ni sites, is found to be the major contributor to the light-promoted CH
