Noble Metal Aerogels: Synthesis and Application as Support-Free Anode Electrocatalysts for Ethanol Electro-Oxidation.
Review in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Self-sustained metal aerogels are emerging as advanced porous materials with a 3D network of nanostructures that are exclusively made of metals. Metal aerogels possess a distinctive combination of metallic nanoparticles with excellent electronic conductivity, and the excellent porosity of the aerogels allows the extensive exposure of electrocatalytic active sites, together with remarkable mass transport networks in a single entity, unlocking widespread application potential ranging from energy storage and conversion to environmental remediation. In this review, we systematically examine the potential of metal aerogels as electrocatalysts for ethanol electro-oxidation. Various synthesis routes, structure-property relationships, and their function as anode electrocatalysts have been critically reviewed. Due to their 3D porous metallic nature, noble metal aerogel catalysts were found to exhibit excellent ethanol oxidation currents, anti-poisoning for reaction intermediates, high mass, and specific activities of 5-20 times those of traditional Pd/C catalysts. In conclusion, it is shown that metal aerogel catalysts exhibit enhanced activity for ethanol electro-oxidation currents over traditional Pd/C catalysts. Despite this, several challenges exist in realizing the commercial applications of metal aerogels, which have been clearly and elaborately stated as future perspectives and research directions in the field of metal aerogel electrocatalysis.
