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

Through-plane electronic transport in porous membrane electrode assembly (MEA) electrodes is governed by the three-dimensional (3D) connectivity of the conducting phase. Here, we quantify the role of the spanning-cluster fraction P∞, defined as the fraction of conducting-phase voxels that belong to the z-spanning connected component in a finite reconstructed volume, on effective conductivity using scanning electron microscopy (SEM)-informed 3D reconstructions of four archetypal morphologies: a granular catalyst layer (CL), labeled CL1; a fibrous gas diffusion layer (GDL), labeled GDL1; an open-cell foam (OCF); and a micro-fibrous non-woven (MFM), labeled MFM1. Each morphology is reconstructed on a 150×150×150 voxel grid, and z-spanning connectivity is identified with a 26-neighbor flood-fill algorithm. Steady-state conduction is solved by a finite-volume method (FVM) with an imposed potential difference between the
