Electrocatalytic methane oxidation
Review in Chemical science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Electrocatalytic methane oxidation (EMO) offers a promising approach by utilizing renewable electricity to drive electron-transfer reactions, enabling C-H bond activation and transformation into value-added chemicals at ambient temperature and pressure while offering advantages in sustainability and process control. However, challenges such as the inherent inertness of methane, its low solubility in conventional electrolytes, and tendencies toward over-oxidation severely limit catalytic efficiency. This review summarizes recent advances in EMO across three key scales. At atomic and molecular scales, mechanisms of C-H bond activation through direct electron transfer and reactive oxygen species are discussed. At the catalyst and microenvironment level, practical strategies to enhance catalysis are reviewed, including structural modification, heterogeneous interfaces, single-atom or dual-atom catalysis, and electrolyte/reactor designs. At the macroscopic transport level, methods to optimize methane transport
