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

The search for higher performance, improved safety, and lifetime of lithium-ion batteries relies on the understanding of degradation mechanisms. Complementary to methods and studies on primary particles or crystalline structure on bulk materials, here we use spatially correlated ptychographic X-ray computed nanotomography with a 35 nm resolution and scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy with 1 μm resolution to visualize in 3D the hidden morphological and structural degradation processes in individual secondary particles of lithium-rich nickel, cobalt, and manganese oxides. From comparative examination of pristine and cycled particles, we suggest that morphological degradation could have radial dependency and secondary particle size dependency. The same particles were examined to correlate the degradation to crystallinity, which shows surprising core-shell structures. This study reveals the inner 3D structure of the secondary particles while opening up questions on the unexpected crystalline structural distributions, which could offer clues for future studies on this promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries.
