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

This study presents a synergistic strategy combining plasma-assisted magnetron co-sputtering and thermal oxidation of a carbon shell to fabricate a self-supported FL-C@NiRu/NCNT@CC electrode with a tri-phase "NiRu alloy core-graphitic shell-Ni-O-Ru interfacial boundary" structure. Sub-nanometer-scale uniform alloying of Ni and Ru via radio-frequency/direct-current plasma magnetron co-sputtering enables precise modulation of metal electronic structure and interfacial charge-distribution, activating d-orbital coupling and interface-polarization. An in-situ conductive graphite-shell is deposited on alloy particles, followed by mild air thermal-oxidation, which thins the carbon shell, reconstructs boundary defects, and induces the formation of a Ni-O-Ru heterostructure. This enhances interfacial coupling and intrinsic oxygen-evolution-reaction (OER)/hydrogen-evolution-reaction (HER) activity. Consequently, the electrode exhibits excellent bifunctional electrocatalytic performance in alkaline media, with a HER overpotential of 75 mV and an OER overpotential of 324 mV at 100 mA cm
