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

Zinc-ion microcapacitors (ZIMCs) have gained considerable attention for their intrinsic charge storage mechanisms, combining a battery-type anode with a capacitor-type cathode. However, their development is constrained by challenges related to electrode material selection and microscale device design, especially given the limited footprint of such devices. Despite their potential, exploration of smart electrode processing and hybrid materials for on-chip ZIMCs remains limited. In this work, we introduce 3D gold interdigitated electrodes (3D Au IDEs) as highly porous current collectors, loaded with zinc (Zn) as the anode and hybrid activated carbon coated with PEDOT (AC-PEDOT) as the cathode, using an advanced microplotter fabrication technique. Compared with planar Zn//AC ZIMCs, where Zn and AC materials are loaded onto planar Au IDEs, the 3D Au Zn//AC-PEDOT ZIMCs demonstrate significantly enhanced performance. This is attributed to the critical role of IDEs in increasing the charge storage capacity, improving long-term cycling stability, and boosting capacitive-controlled charge storage contributions. The 3D Au Zn//AC-PEDOT ZIMCs achieve an areal capacity of 1.3 μAh/cm
