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

High-entropy alloys offer a versatile platform for electrocatalysis, yet their optimization has so far been dominated by transition-metal compositional tuning. Here, we present the first demonstration of boron doping as a powerful nonmetal strategy to engineer high-entropy alloys for water splitting. Incorporating boron into NiCoCuMoMn HEAs drives a dramatic increase in the BCC phase fraction, refines crystallite sizes from the nanometer to subnanometer scale, and induces lattice distortions that create quasi-vacancy active sites. These unique structural modulations, validated by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and electron microscopy, are corroborated by first-principles calculations, showing that substitutional boron lowers oxygen adsorption energies and accelerates oxygen evolution reaction kinetics. As a result, the boron-doped HEA exhibits a breakthrough reduction in the oxygen evolution reaction overpotential (from 300 to 200 mV at 10 mA cm
