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

Two-dimensional (2D) materials emerge as promising alternatives to conventional polymer-based proton exchange membranes (PEMs) due to their high proton conductivity, mechanical robustness, and surface tunability. Here we present an integrated framework combining ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations and machine learning (ML) to accelerate the discovery of proton- and hydrogen-transport properties over 866 nonmetallic 2D materials. Three ML models were trained using AIMD-derived permeation barriers from 488 materials, with Random Forest achieving the highest accuracy and revealing structure-property relationships that govern proton transport. Critical descriptors, including proton-atom distance, pore size, interlayer spacing, and electron affinity, emerged as key predictors of permeation behavior. H
