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

High-temperature capacitive energy storage demands that dielectric materials maintain low electrical conduction loss and high discharged energy density under thermal extremes. The temperature capability of dielectric polymers is limited to below 200 °C, lagging behind requirements for high-power and harsh-condition electronics. Here we report a molecular topology design for dielectric polymers with mechanical bonds that overcomes this obstacle, where cyclic polyethers are threaded onto the axles of various polyimides. From density functional theory and molecular dynamics calculations, we found that the local vibrations of the encircled polymer chains were damped by the cyclic molecules through mechanical bonding, substantially inhibiting the phonon-assisted interchain charge transport that dominates conduction loss when approaching the thermal extremes. At 250 °C, we experimentally observed a d.c. electrical resistivity four orders of magnitude greater than that of commercial polyimides, with the discharged energy density reaching 4.1 J cm
