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

The electro-oxidation of formaldehyde at low potential with anodic hydrogen evolution offers an energy-saving way for hydrogen production. Coupling this reaction in an acidic catholyte with an alkaline anolyte within an acid-alkali hybrid electrochemical system enables self-powered hydrogen production with electricity generation. However, the performance of such systems is constrained by the membrane: conventional forward-bias bipolar membranes suffer from high ohmic resistance due to the delamination, while monopolar ion exchange membranes lead to undesirable acid-alkali neutralization. To address these limitations, we design a composite ion exchange membrane, composed of a through-pore anion exchange membrane and a cation exchange membrane. Employing this membrane, the resulting system achieves a Faradaic efficiency for hydrogen of 198 ± 3 % and outputs a peak power density of 142 mW cm
