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

Single-atom catalysts based on metal-doped carbonaceous materials are promising catalysts. However, the synthesis procedure dictates the local atomic environment, often resulting in a heterogeneous distribution of active sites with distinct properties. Here, we identify these active sites and quantify the ensemble effect of single sites on the activity and selectivity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) of a palladium/nitrogen-doped-graphene single-atom (Pd-N-C) catalyst. By combining core-level spectroscopic data from literature with in-house DFT calculations and microkinetic modeling, we screened various local active site structures. A thermodynamic formation analysis complemented by XANES exclude edge and porous sites based on their poor agreement with experiment and energetics respectively. The remaining basal site distribution within the model's assumptions is best-fit quantified using absolute XPS calculations revealing a site distribution dominated by basal plane PdN
