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

High-entropy alloy (HEA) nanomaterials are promising catalysts for proton exchange membrane water electrolysers (PEMWE), yet their crystalline structures have typically been restricted to thermodynamically stable phases. Here, using Au nanomaterials with distinct crystal phases as templates, we synthesize and stabilize Au@HEA core-shell nanostructures through a general and robust wet-chemical method in which the HEA is composed of up to ten metallic elements (Ir, Pt, Ni, Fe, Co, Rh, Pd, Ru, Cu and Mn). Phase-dependent water electrolysis is demonstrated as a proof-of-concept application. The hexagonal close-packed 4H-Au@4H-IrPtNiFeCo catalyst exhibits superior activity and stability for the acidic hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction and overall water electrolysis compared with the conventional face-centred cubic IrPtNiFeCo catalyst. In a PEMWE at 60 °C, the 4H-Au@4H-IrPtNiFeCo catalyst achieves 3,000 mA cm
