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

Rational design of bimetallic nanocrystals with ordered mesoporous architectures and precise compositional control is critical for high-performance electrocatalysis, yet it remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis of PdSb ordered mesoporous cubes (PdSb OMCs) via a seed-mediated growth strategy, driven by the synergistic interplay between Sb underpotential deposition (UPD) and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) soft-template. Mechanistic studies reveal that the Sb ions and CTAB play decisive roles in directing the ordered self-assembly of surfactant micelles on the Pd surface, enabling the controlled growth of a uniform mesoporous alloy shell. Consequently, the resulting PdSb OMCs exhibit reliable and steady electrocatalytic performance for the ethylene glycol oxidation reaction, directing the conversion of ethylene glycol to glycolic acid with a selectivity of ∼95%. Experimental investigations suggest that this enhancement stems from the unique ordered mesoporous architecture, which facilitates mass transport, and the electron-rich Pd surface modulated by Sb, which suppresses C─C bond cleavage. This work provides a promising approach for UPD-assisted soft-template synthesis and offers insights into designing electrocatalysts for value-added chemical production.
