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

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and its photoinduced variant, photoinduced electrochemiluminescence (PECL), have progressed beyond analytical detection tools to emerge as powerful spatiotemporal probes for interfacial electrocatalysis and photoelectrochemical processes. By transducing local electron-transfer events, reactive intermediates, and charge-carrier dynamics into photon emission, ECL and PECL provide a distinctive electrochemical-optical platform that combines high sensitivity, negligible optical background, and precise spatiotemporal controllability. This review systematically surveys recent methodological advances and representative applications of ECL and PECL in energy conversion catalysis. ECL-based approaches are shown to enable visualization of catalytic heterogeneity, dynamic evolution, and structure-activity relationships across a wide range of catalytic materials. Particular emphasis is placed on mechanistic insights into key electrocatalytic reactions, including the oxygen reduction, oxygen evolution, and hydrogen evolution reactions, in which spatial and temporal resolved ECL signals elucidate reaction pathways, intermediate dynamics, and local microenvironmental variations. In parallel, PECL is discussed as a selective probe for photoinduced charge-carrier utilization, recombination, and interfacial kinetics in photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical systems. Finally, current challenges and future perspectives for advancing ECL- and PECL-based methodologies in energy-related catalysis are outlined.
