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

Hydrogen storage remains a key challenge for widescale adoption of hydrogen as an energy vector. Lightweight complex hydrides offer high storage densities but suffer from hydrogen release/cyclability above the temperatures required for practical use. Here, we report on discoveries in ternary Reactive Hydride Composites (RHCs). We systematically tuned the LiBH₄ content in the well-established Mg(NH₂)₂ - LiH framework, achieving reversible hydrogen release at temperatures starting below 393 K and a capacity of 3.1 wt%; a decrease of 100 K compared to the Mg(NH₂)₂ - LiH system.This is a crucial step towards the use of complex hydride-based hydrogen carriers for stationary and onboard hydrogen storage applications. We demonstrate a reversible RHC within the utilisation range of low-grade waste heat from a fuel cell, alongside offering insight into the reaction pathways in these RHCs to inform the design of future materials.
