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

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are traditionally designed as the primary active sites for catalytic reactions. Here, we advance a fundamentally different conceptual framework by redefining single-atom sites as cocatalytic regulators that orchestrate reaction microenvironments rather than directly participating in catalytic turnover. Taking alkaline hydrogen evolution (HER) on Ru nanoparticles as a model reaction, we demonstrate through DFT calculations that Mo, W, and Cr single-atom cocatalysts-although intrinsically poor in hydrogen adsorption-significantly optimize the Δ
