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

Syngas-to-ethanol conversion is economically attractive yet remains challenging due to limited activity and selectivity under practical conditions. Achieving selective C-C coupling and directing *CHO hydrogenation to ethanol require precise control of active-site geometry and electronics. Here we use a coordination-precursor-mediated strategy to construct Ru dual-atom catalysts on N-coordinated carbon supports with tunable local architectures, where the Ru-Ru separation serves as a primary descriptor-together with coordination environment and intersite electronic coupling-governing cooperative CO/H
