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

All-solid-state lithium-metal batteries hold great promise because of their high energy density stemming from using an energy-dense lithium-metal anode. However, mitigating the dendritic lithium-metal growth, originating from heterogeneous lithium-metal deposition, is a priority to suppress short-circuit and extend cycle life. This study employs direct current (DC) magnetron sputter coating to deposit tin (Sn) and carbon (C) on a stainless steel (SUS) current collector to achieve uniform lithium-metal plating and improve cycling performance. In particular, we evaluated and compared two dual buffer layer designs, consisting of Sn and C: (1) a thin C layer is deposited on the Sn metal layer (SUS/Sn/C), and (2) the Sn metal layer is deposited on the thin C layer (SUS/C/Sn). This study demonstrated that the SUS/Sn/C buffer layer is more effective in suppressing lithium dendrite growth and improving cycling stability than the SUS/C/Sn buffer layer. The SUS/Sn/C buffer layer shows stable Li-plating/stripping cycling over 450 cycles without noticeable short-circuit.
