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

Bimetallic NiCu catalysts supported on boehmite (AlO(OH)) with varying Ni and Cu loadings were synthesized through the sequential wet impregnation technique. The AlO(OH) support, characterized by unique properties and a high surface area, was synthesized using a hydrothermal treatment method. Various characterizations on the prepared series of NiCu/AlO(OH) catalysts confirmed the presence of strong Lewis acid sites, and the absence of large agglomeration. Optimization of Ni and Cu loadings on the support achieved the highest catalytic performance with 25 wt% Ni and 15 wt% Cu at 240 °C and 550 psi hydrogen pressure using 4 wt% catalyst loading, resulting in 92.7% 1,2-PD selectivity and 60.3% yield with 65.1% glycerol conversion in 6 h. Further optimization of operating conditions to make 1,2-PD was conducted within the range of temperature, pressure, and catalyst loadings of 200-230 °C, 350-750 psi, and 4-8 wt%, respectively,
