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

Two-dimensional mesoporous amorphous metallic films, particularly those based on earth-abundant Fe-group metals (Ni, Co, Fe), are highly promising for various applications due to their high surface area, structural isotropy, and abundant undercoordinated sites. However, synthesizing continuous Fe-group amorphous metallic films with well-defined mesoporosity under mild conditions remains a challenge. Here, we develop an electrodeposition-initiated, self-catalyzed electroless growth strategy, enabling the synthesis of composition-tunable (from binary to quaternary) amorphous Fe-group metal-boron (M-B) mesoporous films (MFs) on various conductive substrates. This approach decouples the nucleation and growth stages, allowing precise control over film thickness, composition, and mesostructure. Thickness-time measurements suggest a self-accelerating growth process, whereas finite-element simulations indicate that substrate-dependent electric-field distributions modulate the nucleation and growth morphology. The synthesized multimetallic amorphous Ni-Co-Fe-B MF demonstrates high oxygen evolution performance and durability in alkaline simulated seawater, making them promising candidates for practical applications. Theoretical insights reveal preferential OH
