Towards Sustainable Energy-Saving Hydrogen Production: Recent Advances in Tungsten-Based Urea Oxidation Electrocatalysts.
Review in Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The urea oxidation reaction (UOR), as a multi-electron coupling reaction, provides an efficient route for treating urea-containing wastewater and a sustainable strategy for energy-saving H2 production. Nickel-based catalysts attract attention due to their low cost and favorable activity, but single-metal catalysts still suffer from limited activity and stability. To overcome these limitations, researchers enhance performance through doping, structural regulation, and composite strategies. Tungsten (W), with high electronegativity, multivalence, excellent conductivity, and environmental friendliness, is widely incorporated into nickel-based catalysts to modulate electronic structure, improve adsorption and conversion of intermediates, and enhance stability. This review summarizes recent progress in W-based UOR catalysts, focusing on reaction mechanisms, structural regulation strategies, and performance improvement approaches. Current challenges include active site identification, catalyst stability, reaction selectivity, and the lack of standardized evaluation protocols. Future research directions involve elucidating catalytic mechanisms, optimizing material design, establishing unified evaluation standards, and developing high-performance W-based composites, aiming to advance UOR applications in energy conversion, wastewater treatment, and sensing.
