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

A conventional electrode in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) often imposes competing requirements on the ionomer, which must enable efficient proton conduction while allowing sufficient oxygen transport. To address these material-level requirements, a co-axial electrospun electrode comprising of a pristine ionomer core and a multifunctional platinum-carbon-ionomer shell is introduced. By decoupling proton and oxygen transport pathways, this architecture enables independent tailoring of core and shell chemistries and their interfaces. The core-shell structure of the electrospun fibers is confirmed by microscopy, while electrochemical and transport properties are quantified using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and limiting-current diagnostics. The co-axial fibers in their current version meet or exceed the performance of conventional ultrasonically sprayed electrode at relative humidities above 75%, enabled by improvements in non-Fickian diffusion processes. This work establishes co-axial electrospun electrodes as a versatile platform for advanced PEMFC electrodes and a wide range of electrochemical applications, including CO
