Imaging galvanic couples in complex sulphide assemblages using multi-modal elemental and photocurrent microscopy.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Modulated photocurrent mapping of electrical micro-junctions related to neighboring p-n zones in single or mixed phase sulphide assemblages can detect galvanic pairs which drive electrochemical reactions with overlaying fluids which is an important process for the petrophysics of geometallurgy. Understanding the role micro-junctions play in retarding or enhancing dissolution of an ore carrying sulphide requires imaging these couples near the surface and correlating them with both phase and elemental distributions. Here we apply multi-modal correlative imaging of a pyrite-sphalerite assemblage involving elemental mapping using electron and proton beam methods followed by laser beam induced current microscopy to reveal the spatial location of internal fields associated with micro-galvanic cells. This represents an important step in advancing electrochemical ore genesis models and further extends the toolkit for understanding and optimising mineral processing schemes based on specific geometallurgical footprints.
