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

Pt supported on carbon black (Pt/C) is generally used as an anode and cathode catalyst in polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Owing to the highly complex surface microstructure of Pt/C, electrochemical studies employing single-crystal Pt surfaces are powerful but insufficient alone for a comprehensive understanding of the catalytic properties and surface modification effects by organic compounds. This study investigated the dependence of the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) activity of a polycrystalline Pt electrode surface on grain crystallographic orientation and the influence of surface modification by melamine. As a prerequisite, the 2D HOR activity map obtained by a scanning electrochemical microprobe was successfully correlated with the 2D grain crystallographic orientation map determined by electron backscatter diffraction by using indentation marks made by a nanoindenter on the electrode surface as a guide. Low-activity grain regions had orientations close to (100), whereas moderate- and high-activity grain regions exhibited orientations close to (110) and (111), respectively. Then, HOR deactivation was monitored in situ by conducting square-wave potential cycling in a 0.1 M NaClO
