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

Chemical waves of CO oxidation on platinum surfaces exhibit complex spatiotemporal self-oscillations, yet the local electronic mechanisms driving their propagation remain poorly understood under operando conditions. In this work, we combine operando scanning electron microscopy with frequency-modulated Kelvin probe force microscopy (FM-KPFM) to simultaneously map secondary electron contrast and local work-function variations during CO oxidation on Pt. By utilizing the KPFM tip as a localized sensor, we provide the first work-function-resolved imaging of reaction fronts, enabling an unambiguous physical assignment of CO- and oxygen-covered states. Our results demonstrate that the transition and expansion of adsorbate phases are characterized by a pronounced temporal asymmetry and spatial heterogeneity. KPFM identifies a rapid onset of oxygen coverage followed by a gradual, diffuse relaxation back to the CO-covered state, indicative of relaxation-type oscillations even at low pressures (10
