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

Solubility of redox-active molecules is an important determining factor of the energy density in redox flow batteries. However, the advancement of electrolyte materials discovery has been constrained by the absence of extensive experimental solubility datasets, which are crucial for leveraging data-driven methodologies. In this study, we design and investigate a highly automated workflow that synergizes a high-throughput experimentation platform with a state-of-the-art active learning algorithm to significantly enhance the solubility of redox-active molecules in organic solvents. Our platform identifies multiple solvents that achieve a remarkable solubility threshold exceeding 6.20 M for the archetype redox-active molecule, 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole, from a comprehensive library of more than 2000 potential solvents. Significantly, our integrated strategy necessitates solubility assessments for fewer than 10% of these candidates, underscoring the efficiency of our approach. Our results also show that binary solvent mixtures, particularly those incorporating 1,4-dioxane, are instrumental in boosting the solubility of 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole. Beyond designing an efficient workflow for developing high-performance redox flow batteries, our machine learning-guided high-throughput robotic platform presents a robust and general approach for expedited discovery of functional materials.
