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

High-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs) is regarded as a promising energy conversion system owing to simplified water management and enhanced tolerance to fuel impurities. However, phosphoric acid (PA) leaching remains a critical issue, diminishing energy density and durability, posing significant obstacle to the commercial development of HT-PEMFCs. To address this, composite membranes incorporating the carboxylic acid-modified polymer of intrinsic microporosity (cPIM-1) are designed as framework polymer, blended with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) for HT-PEMFCs. The Lewis acid-base interactions between cPIM-1 and PVP created an extensive hydrogen-bonding network, improving membrane compatibility. The optimized microporous structure and multiple anchoring sites gave rise to "domain-limited" PA clusters, enhancing the capillary effect. Simultaneously, improved hydrophobicity synergistically optimizes catalytic interface, promoting continuous and stable proton transfer. The HT-PEMFCs based on PVP/cPIM-1 composite membrane achieved a peak power density of 1090.0 mW cm
