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 high abundance and low cost of aluminum and sulfur make the Al-S battery an attractive combination. However, significant improvements in performance are required, and increasing the thickness and sulfur content of the sulfur electrodes is critical for the development of batteries with competitive specific energies. This work concerns the development of sulfur electrodes with the highest sulfur content (60 wt %) reported to date for an Al-S battery system and a systematic study of the effect of the sulfur electrode thickness on battery performance. If low-cost electrolytes made from acetamide or urea are used, slow mass transport of the electrolyte species is identified as the main cause of the poor sulfur utilization when the electrode thickness is decreased, whereas complete sulfur utilization is achieved with a less viscous ionic liquid. In addition, the analysis of very thin electrodes reveals the occurrence of degradation reactions in the low-cost electrolytes. The new analysis method is ideal for evaluating the stability and mass transport limitations of novel electrolytes for Al-S batteries.
