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

Renewable intermittency forces electrolytic hydrogen systems to operate across multiple states, lowering efficiency. We design a thermodynamic cycle that recovers electrolysis waste heat and integrates it with an alkaline electrolyser. A detailed thermodynamic model of the hydrogen system and the heat-recovery loop is developed, and design and operating parameters are optimized to maximize overall exergy efficiency. To improve economic viability, heat-exchanger structural parameters are co-optimized. We further propose an optimal scheduling method for the heat-recovery system under fluctuating renewable supply. The method employs an interactive optimisation framework cantered on the temperature-efficiency curve of alkaline electrolyser cells, jointly optimizing electrolyser current and working-fluid mass flow to enhance economic performance. A case study using real wind-farm data from Qinghai demonstrates that the proposed system with heat recovery significantly improves performance, increasing hydrogen production by up to 9% under wind scarcity compared to that of the system without heat recovery. These results confirm the practical viability of renewable-driven hydrogen production.
