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

The light-driven enzyme catalytic system composed of NAD(P)H regeneration and NAD(P)H-dependent enzymatic process emerges as a biomanufacturing platform for the synthesis of value-added chemicals, where the photo-responsive materials absorb solar energy to drive mass conversion. Herein, we report a photo-enzyme-membrane (PEM) catalytic system coupled with multi-enzyme cascade for ethylene glycol (EG) synthesis, in which membrane mediates energy transfer and mass conversion. Covalent organic polymer membrane as photo-membrane (PM) affords efficient NADH supply through synergistic intensification of electron transfer and proton transfer, where the bipyridine moiety mediates fast electron transfer from the generation site, and the sulfonic acid moiety facilitates proton transfer by enriching protons. Meanwhile, NADH-dependent enzyme is absorbed on PM followed by coating with a silica layer to form PEM, where the enzyme-bearing silica layer is defined as enzyme-membrane (EM). The enzymatic process is intensified by mitigating the adverse effects of PM on enzyme activity through precise regulation of EM thickness. Further, a dual-channel reactor is constructed for sustainable synthesis of EG with an initial synthesis rate of 2.43 mmol g
