In situ NMR-guided design of alkaline electrochemical ammonia synthesis.
Article in Science advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
As a low-carbon and decentralized ammonia synthetic method, lithium-mediated electrochemical synthesis has shown promising Faradaic efficiencies and reaction rates. Nevertheless, challenges including low energy efficiency and long-term stability need to be addressed. Here, we develop and apply in situ NMR methodology to reveal a range of reaction mechanisms, including plating of metallic lithium and the concurrent corrosion, nitrogen splitting on lithium metal, protonolysis of lithium nitride, and the formation of lithium ethoxide. Guided by the NMR insights, we demonstrate a biphasic alkaline-organic lithium-mediated electrochemical ammonia synthesis coupled with value-added organic conversion via alcohol and furfural oxidation. This approach provides a strategy to increase the anodic charge utilization and improve the overall energy efficiency of lithium-mediated ammonia synthesis.
