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

Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are highly anticipated due to their remarkable theoretical specific energy and energy density. Nevertheless, the polysulfide shuttle effect severely curtails their cycle life, posing a significant obstacle to commercialization. Herein, we introduce nickel-cobalt oxide/nickel-cobalt sulfate hollow nanowires (NCO/NCSO-HNWs) as a separator modification material. The ingeniously designed hollow nanostructure of NCO/NCSO-HNWs endows it with a profusion of adsorption and catalytic active sites. This unique feature enables it to not only physically adsorb lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) but also catalytically convert them, thereby remarkably enhancing the anchoring and conversion efficiency of LiPSs. The LSBs equipped with NCO/NCSO-HNWs-modified separators exhibit an outstanding initial capacity of 1260 mA h g
