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

The global transition to sustainable energy has accelerated research into photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen production, a promising technology for converting sunlight into storable chemical fuel. Among emerging materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and perovskites have shown great promise due to their adjustable band structures, catalytic versatility, and optoelectronic performance. This study provides a comparative and bibliometric analysis of MOFs and perovskite-based PEC systems, combining a review of recent advancements in heterojunction design, band-gap engineering, co-catalyst integration, and stability improvements with a quantitative overview of global research trends (2015-2025) using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny. Results show that perovskites lead in light-harvesting efficiency and publication impact, while MOFs excel in catalytic versatility and interfacial engineering. Hybrid MOF-perovskite structures exhibit synergistic effects that enhance charge separation, durability, and solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency. These findings emphasize the importance of combining both material types as a key step toward developing efficient, stable, and scalable PEC devices for green hydrogen production.
