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

An important yet often overlooked catalyst design consideration for electrochemical hydrogenation reactions is the hydrogen transfer route. This can occur either through the Eley-Rideal (ER) mechanism involving proton-coupled electron transfer from solvent water or the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (LH) mechanism using surface-adsorbed *H. Although this can significantly influence catalyst performance, there is a lack of clear guiding principles on how to control the relative contribution of each mechanism. Here we show how catalyst alloying can shift the balance between hydrogenation via the LH vs. ER mechanism. Specifically, we demonstrate this with a model system involving acetylene reduction to ethylene on a series of CuAu alloys of varying composition. Using H
