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

Topological catalysts are special class of high-activity catalysts that have topological surface state with high-mobility electrons to promote electron transfer. Among topological materials, high-fold degenerate topological semimetals (TSMs) with chiral structures are particularly effective in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysis due to the larger energy window of nontrivial surface states and longer Fermi arcs than other classes. In this work, based on high-throughput calculations and the database of high-fold degenerate TSMs with chiral structures that we have established, we predict 16 high-activity topological catalysts with Gibbs free energy ∣ΔG∣ smaller than that of Pt. Among them, PtGa and PtPbTe with space group P2
