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

Operando microscopy methods applied in electrocatalysis come with critical limitations such as statistical relevance, interfering probe-sample interactions, and mass-transport-related phenomena on the one hand. On the other hand, those methods provide unique insights into dynamic processes that nanomaterials undergo during operation, insights that are inaccessible otherwise. Overcoming these challenges is, therefore, essential to disentangle, for instance, degradation mechanisms of electrocatalysts, knowledge that is urgently needed to drive forward our energy transition in a reasonable manner. This Mini-Review names the details of these challenges, provides recently published solutions, and depicts how operando microscopies can be embedded into correlative workflows to unfold their full potential. This way, insights gained from investigating model systems employing electrochemical liquid-phase electron microscopy, operando X-ray methods, and scanning electrochemical probe microscopies have the potential to lead to major breakthroughs in the development of next-generation energy materials.
