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

To address persistent challenges of low ammonia yield and Faradaic efficiency (FE) in electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction, this work pioneers a breakthrough strategy utilizing nitrogen-enriched spirulina biomass as the nitrogen source coupled with high-entropy alloy (HEA) catalysts. This novel electrocatalytic synthesis route establishes a sustainable pathway for green ammonia production. The MnFeNiCuAl and MnFeNiCuCo HEAs were synthesized via a coprecipitation method. Structural analysis reveals that MnFeNiCuAl exhibits a pure face-centered cubic (FCC) phase, and the Al element incorporation suppresses high-temperature sintering and mitigates compositional segregation. Its oxygen vacancy concentration is higher than that of the MnFeNiCuCo HEO, which can optimize the multielectron transfer kinetics, thereby enhancing the electrocatalytic performance. Electrocatalytic tests using four amino acid model compounds from spirulina (glutamate, histidine, leucine, and phenylalanine) revealed superior activity of the MnFeNiCuAl catalyst compared to that of MnFeNiCuCo. The MnFeNiCuAl HEA catalyst was then employed for the spirulina electrolysis, which achieved a high NH
