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 dendrites, with their high reactivity, pose a critical challenge to the safety and longevity of lithium-based batteries. Effective regulation strategies are crucial for mitigating battery degradation and enhancing reliability. Conventional approaches, such as relaxation following lithium plating or regulated discharging, often fail to simultaneously address the formation of solid electrolyte interface and isolated lithium. Here, we demonstrate that rational utilization of electric field relaxation following dendrite growth can reduce defective solid electrolyte interface and isolated lithium by balancing solid electrolyte interface growth and dendrite morphology smoothing near the relaxation time constant. Building upon the mechanism, we propose a short-term relaxation method to manipulate lithium plating, which achieves an enhancement of capacity retention from 80% up to 95% at 3 C-rate (20 min) fast-charging on commercial batteries. These findings highlight the importance of relaxation after dendrites formation for safe, long-life and fast-charging batteries, particularly where dendrite growth is the limiting factor.
