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

Water electrolysis struggles to compete with the low cost of hydrogen produced from methane or coal. We propose a bromide-mediated paired electrosynthesis system in which an aqueous electrolyte is combined with olefins in an inert organic co-solvent to simultaneously generate hydrogen and epoxides. In this process, bromide electrolysis first produces gaseous hydrogen and solution-confined bromine; the bromine is then used to partially oxidize olefins into high-value epoxides while being regenerated back to bromide. By replacing low-value oxygen with valuable epoxides, this approach increases the economic viability of water electrolysis and can be applied to a wide range of olefins. We demonstrate the concept using styrene, converting water and styrene into hydrogen and styrene oxide in a membraneless system with high efficiency, high rate, and high product selectivity.
