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

Due to the excessive consumption of fossil fuels and the increasingly severe global environment, the world urgently needs to develop new clean and renewable energy sources. However, these energy sources have intermittency and instability, so it is necessary to vigorously develop efficient and large-scale energy conversion and storage technologies such as fuel cells, water electrolyzers, and metal-air batteries based on the core reactions of oxygen evolution reaction and oxygen reduction reaction. Because of their excellent molecular designability and structural tunability, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) show great potential for applications in this field. In this review, we first classify COF-based electrocatalysts based on the nature of active sites. Subsequently, strategies including structural design and functional synthesis for improving performance of COF-based electrocatalysts in the field of oxygen catalysis are systematically reviewed. Importantly, mechanism discussion of the performance improvement is highlighted. Finally, we put forward prospects for the future research directions, challenges, and development opportunities in this field. This review aims to provide guidance for the development of high-performance COF-based electrocatalysts through critical analysis of existing research, revealing the correlation between material design and mechanism for performance improvement.
