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

Solvent differences in perfluorinated sulfonic acid ionomer (PFSI) dispersions confound comparisons of catalyst-layer (CL) binders for PEM water electrolysis. We use a propylene-glycol (PG) single-solvent platform to isolate effects of ionomer structure, i.e., side-chain architecture and equivalent weight (EW), across five PFSIs (Nafion D2021, Nafion D2020, Aquivion D98-25BS, Aquivion D72-25BS, and 3M E-22397B) as hydrogen evolution reaction-CL binders. PG collapses ionomer aggregates from microns to sub-100 nm and reduces catalyst-ionomer agglomerates without a systematic EW trend, indicating that performance differences originate during film formation. PG makes CLs more hydrophobic (higher
