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

Industrial seawater electrolysis remains constrained in achieving both high catalytic activity and long-term durability, with key limitations including structural degradation and mechanical instability within catalyst layers. Here we show a self-adhesive high-entropy oxide sub-nanowire monolithic catalyst that overcomes both obstacles. The catalyst is synthesized under mild conditions and incorporates 14 metal elements into uniform ~1.2 nm sub-nanowires with strong intrinsic adhesion to conductive substrates, eliminating the need for external binders. It also features unconventional active sites that enable efficient and durable lattice oxygen activation while preserving structural integrity during prolonged operation. It exhibits overpotentials of 129 mV in 1 M KOH and 153 mV in 1 M KOH + seawater at 10 mA cm
