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

Aqueous zinc-bromine flow batteries are promising for grid storage due to their inherent safety, cost-effectiveness, and high energy density. However, they have a low energy/power density and inferior cycle stability due to irreversible reactions of uncontrolled zinc dendrite growth and hydrogen evolution reaction. Here, we develop a highly reversible carbon felt electrode with uniformly distributed Pb nanoparticles, which can be realized via an effective in situ predeposition strategy. Owing to abundant Pb nanoparticles as zincophilic nucleation sites, the Pb nanoparticles effectively induce uniform Zn deposition with a dendrite-free morphology. Moreover, the Pb-modified electrode accommodates higher hydrogen evolution reaction overpotential to inhibit the H
