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

A largely unexplored approach for optimizing surface strains on terrace-type catalysts is the break of atomic symmetry to release surface stress. The key challenge lies in how to implement this approach into practical nanocatalysts, in particular the promising high-entropy alloys (HEAs). Herein, we design and synthesize a series of HEA nanorings (NRs) with abundant terrace-type defects for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysis. The asymmetry-triggered release of surface stress enables the modulation of compressive strain for optimizing the electronic structure. On the optimally-tuned PtPdFeCoNi HEA NRs, we achieve mass and specific activities of 0.99 A mg
