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

Heterogeneous dual-atom catalysts (DACs) offer great potential to enhance electrocatalytic reaction kinetics and provide diverse active sites. However, achieving precise tuning of metal atom coordination in DACs remains a significant challenge. Here, the axial dual atom (ADA) embedded within a covalent organic framework and N-doped graphene, features an axial intermetallic distance tuned by alcohol solvent treatment, resulting in efficient bifunctional electrocatalysis of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In situ X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) and Raman spectroscopy reveal that Fe acts as the primary active center in the axially coordinated FeCo-ADA, with Co providing synergistic effects. The in-depth theoretical analysis elucidates that the axial Fe-Co orbital coupling results in optimized orbital energy levels, higher Fe oxidation state, weakened oxygen intermediate binding strength, and reduced reaction energy barrier. The zinc-air battery (ZAB) equipped with FeCo-ADA achieves a high peak power density of 464.5 mW cm
