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 inherent instability of ruthenium oxide in acidic environments, coupled with the persistent activity-stability trade-off, constitutes a fundamental barrier to advancement of proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers. Here we show a cavitation-mediated sonochemical strategy that enables homogeneous substitutional boron doping of ruthenium oxide within minutes under ambient conditions. By substituting lattice ruthenium sites and forming strong covalent boron-oxygen bonds, boron doping enhances the intrinsic activity and stability by optimizing oxygen-intermediate adsorption and suppressing lattice oxygen participation, thereby mitigating catalyst degradation. The resulting boron-doped ruthenium oxide exhibits a low overpotential of 180 mV at 10 mA cm
