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

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) hold great promise for clean energy conversion, yet their performance is limited by insufficient mass transport bottlenecks within the catalyst layer. Addressing this fundamental issue demands innovative catalyst nanostructuring. Inspired by the evolutionarily optimized channel systems in cellular transport mechanisms, we design clathrin-mimetic noble metal nanostructures featuring nanoporous shells and internal cavities via a selenium-induced self-assembly method. The creation of such nanoclathrin relies on the in situ formed Se, where the amorphous structure induces the disordered growth of noble metals on the surface, ultimately establishing the nanoclathrin architecture. This strategy can be extended to create diverse nanoclathrins with controlled hollow size, shell thickness, as well as composition. Furthermore, precise microstrain engineering enables performance fine-tuning of platinum nanoclathrins (Pt NCLs) for half reactions in PEMFCs. Benefiting from enhanced mass transfer and optimized microstrain, Pt NCLs can serve as both efficient cathode and anode catalysts in practical fuel cells, achieving rated power densities of 1.25 W cm
