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

Subnanometer metal cluster catalysts have garnered significant attention due to their multi-site synergistic catalytic capabilities. However, constrained by classical sintering theory, metal clusters are prone to sintering and growth, which makes it challenging for them to stably exist at high temperatures. Prevailing strategies predominantly focus on the synthesis pathways from atoms to clusters, while overlooking the bidirectional regulation potential of metal particle dynamic reconstruction. This study transcends conventional paradigms by proposing a reverse regulation strategy from particles to clusters. The disadvantage of high temperature is strategically converted into driving forces for particle dispersion through the rational design of catalytic environments and metal-support interactions. Through a comprehensive combination of in situ characterization techniques and theoretical calculations, the interfacial atomic migration pathways and energy evolution during dynamic dispersion are systematically investigated. Furthermore, the formation process and underlying mechanism of stable Ni clusters are elucidated. The optimized 10Ni/30La-CeO
