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

Fuel cells are regarded as highly promising energy devices due to their clean and efficient energy conversion characteristics. However, their core material, platinum-based catalysts face challenges such as high cost, resource scarcity, and the high energy consumption and pollution associated with traditional synthesis methods, which contradict the green development principles of fuel cell technology. The rise of green chemistry provides a new research direction for developing environmentally friendly and cost-effective catalyst preparation routes. This review systematically summarizes recent research progress in the green synthesis of platinum-based catalysts for fuel cells, focusing on four core strategies: green solvent systems, biological reduction systems, renewable resource templates, and green energy-saving methods. It provides a detailed analysis of the principles of each method and their regulatory mechanisms on the microstructure. More importantly, this review elucidates the effects of size, morphology, and surface state on catalytic performance and establishes a structure-activity relationship linking green synthesis methods, microstructure, and catalytic performance and further discusses the regulatory mechanisms of catalyst structure, operating temperature, and electrolyte environment on electrochemical kinetic behavior. Furthermore, this article critically evaluates the advantages, limitations, and industrialization challenges of various green technologies. This review provides an important reference for the preparation and industrial application of high-performance, low-platinum, and environmentally friendly fuel cell catalysts.
