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

Continuous electrochemical lithium-mediated ammonia production has shown promising performance. For this reaction, water oxidation could provide a direct route for proton supply, eliminating the need to generate molecular hydrogen. However, recent studies have reported low Faradaic efficiency for ammonia when water is used directly as the proton source. In this work, we integrate an electrically isolated Pd membrane to transfer protons generated from water oxidation into a nonaqueous lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction system. By employing Pd as a proton- and electron-conducting membrane rather than solely as a cathode, we enabled continuous operation in a flow-cell configuration, achieving a Faradaic efficiency of 36 ± 4% at a current density of -6 mA cm
