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

Synthetic ammonia is of great significance to the development of industry and agriculture. At present, its manufacturing production is still dominated by century-old Haber-Bosch process, involving in huge amounts of energy consumptions and carbon dioxide emissions. Hence, it is of great significance to develop green and sustainable alternative technologies, such as photo-, thermo-, and electro-catalytic syntheses of ammonia. Nevertheless, the intrinsic inertness of nitrogen results in low ammonia yield of above candidates, which still cannot meet commercialization expectations. Recent researches have successfully demonstrated that plasma can effectively activate the decomposition of nitrogen and hydrogen under ambient conditions, thereby significantly improving the ammonia yield of these alternative strategies. This review systematically summarizes the classification and reaction mechanism of plasma for this reason, and discusses the synergy between different plasma and catalytic methods along with energy consumptions in detail. In the meantime, the future development trend is also forecasted.
