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

Hydrogen generation from renewable energy sources allows balancing the intermittent nature of solar and wind power. The chemical energy stored in hydrogen can be efficiently converted back to electricity using fuel cells or hydrogen can be used in chemical processes or as secondary energy carrier in heat and gas markets. Several approaches have been investigated but most of them have a low conversion efficiency. Here we present a high-performance photovoltaic/electrolysis module that splits water molecules using the photovoltage of multi-junction solar cells. A Fresnel lens array concentrates direct sunlight onto photovoltaic cells with an open-circuit voltage above 4 V. These solar cells are electrically interconnected to the cathode and anode of two series-connected polymer electrolyte membrane electrolysis cells. A demonstrator with a lens area of 64 cm
