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

[FeFe]-hydrogenases are known for their exceptional dihydrogen production activity, which opens a pathway to green hydrogen formation. To achieve the high turnover numbers found in natural environments, researchers aim to mimic biological electron donors using artificial electron delivery systems. In this sense, the use of an externally applied electrochemical potential is of particular interest, for which redox mediators often have to be included to effectively shuttle electrons between the electrode and the enzyme. The class of viologens, with methylviologen being the most prominent example, has been shown to perform efficient electron transfer. However, the reduced forms of such viologens are restricted in terms of stability and accessibility of the more reduced, low-potential species. Herein, we report the electrochemical and spectroscopic characterization of a viologen-based derivative, which is capable of storing two electrons at a low potential of -0.75 V
