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

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis is a cornerstone technology for sustainable hydrogen production. In addition to water splitting, it is also used in hydrochloric acid (HCl) electrolysis to convert industrial HCl waste streams into valuable chlorine and hydrogen. However, such highly corrosive environments present unique material challenges. This study evaluates the mechanical, thermal, and chemical durability of various commercially available perfluorosulfonic acid (PFAA) membranes-including several Nafion and Aquivion variants-under harsh HCl/Cl
