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 pursuit of earth-abundant electrocatalysts for acidic water electrolysis is fundamentally limited by a material-design paradox: high activity necessitates reactive sites, yet these sites are inherently vulnerable to corrosion. Here, we present a paradigm shift that transforms corrosion from a destructive process into a useful synthesis tool. We demonstrate that a topologically close-packed (TCP) intermetallic phase, when electrochemically activated in acid, naturally forms a self-passivating, corrosion-resistant amorphous oxide layer that establishes a durable and catalytically active interface. This corrosion-built oxide layer enables exceptional hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance (90 mV at 10 mA/cm
