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

Spin-state plays a crucial role in defining the electronic structure and catalytic reactivity of transition metal catalysts. However, precise manipulation of spin states is challenging, and their impact on catalytic mechanisms remains poorly understood. Here, we show that the curvature of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) tunes the spin state of cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) anchored on CNTs, thereby affecting the activity and selectivity in the electroreduction of nitric oxide (NORR) to ammonia. As the CNT diameter falls below 3 nm, the Co
