A Humidity-Tolerant Photocatalyst for Methane Removal.

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
To mitigate the climate impacts of methane, there has been substantial interest in the complete oxidation of methane to carbon dioxide by using photocatalysis at ambient temperatures. However, previous studies have primarily examined methane concentrations well above those found at most emission sources and have overlooked the role of realistic humidity. This work reports methane oxidation rates at 25 °C for oxide-based photocatalysts for methane concentrations ranging from 2 to 5000 ppm. Even under dry conditions with less than 2% relative humidity, residual water attracted to the hydrophilic surfaces of these photocatalysts severely inhibits methane oxidation. Thinning this water layer boosts methane oxidation rates by up to 1 order of magnitude. Furthermore, surface modification of titanium dioxide with a hydrophobic fluorosilane coating (1
