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

Developing earth-abundant electrocatalysts that rival the commercial platinum/carbon catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) remains a central challenge in renewable-energy conversion. Here, we reveal an electrochemically induced, in situ phase transformation in a Ru-MgO catalyst that leads to true active material during operation. Under acidic HER conditions, nominal 20 wt.% Ru nanoparticles supported on polar MgO(111) nanocrystals undergo a topotactic hydrolysis to Ru-Mg(OH)
