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

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have the potential to improve lithium-ion batteries by enhancing safety and enabling higher energy densities. However, SPEs suffer from significantly lower ionic conductivity than liquid and solid ceramic electrolytes, limiting their adoption in functional batteries. To facilitate more rapid discovery of high ionic conductivity SPEs, we developed a chemistry-informed machine learning model that accurately predicts ionic conductivity of SPEs. The model was trained on SPE ionic conductivity data from hundreds of experimental publications. Our chemistry-informed model encodes the Arrhenius equation, which describes temperature activated processes, into the readout layer of a state-of-the-art message passing neural network and has significantly improved accuracy over models that do not encode temperature dependence. Chemically informed readout layers are compatible with deep learning for other property prediction tasks and are especially useful where limited training data are available. Using the trained model, ionic conductivity values were predicted for several thousand candidate SPE formulations, allowing us to identify promising candidate SPEs. We also generated predictions for several different anions in poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(trimethylene carbonate), demonstrating the utility of our model in identifying descriptors for SPE ionic conductivity.
