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

Introducing organic cosolvent is a common and cost-effective electrolyte engineering for aqueous Zn-battery, reshaping the solvation environment of electrolyte and modulating the interfacial electrochemistry on Zn-metal electrode. Clarifying the mechanisms governing interfacial dynamic evolution and electrochemical performance is essential for guiding cosolvent selection. However, the absence of direct visualization for dynamic interfacial evolution during Zn plating/stripping has impeded mechanistic understanding of cosolvent-mediated effects in electrolyte engineering. Here, we combine advanced in-situ spectroscopy with theoretical calculation to decouple the interfacial evolution at the molecular level. We find that cosolvents not only weaken the connectivity of the interfacial hydrogen-bond network between water molecules, thereby hindering the H
