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

Copper-based electrocatalysts exhibit high initial activity for formaldehyde oxidation but suffer rapid deactivation under industrially relevant current densities. While this instability has traditionally been attributed to copper self-oxidation, the fundamental origin of performance decay remains debated. Here we show that the persistent accumulation of formate intermediates rather than Cu oxidation constitutes the primary deactivation pathway, and that this bottleneck can be overcome by establishing a dynamic conversion-desorption equilibrium through local electronic microenvironment engineering. We develop an AgCu microsphere catalyst (AgCu-MSs/CF) with an optimized Ag loading of 4.1 wt.%, which achieves a current density of 1068 mA cm
