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

A multifunctional catalyst with enhanced polysulfide adsorption, rapid lithium diffusion, and exceptional catalytic activity is crucial for accelerating redox kinetics and effectively suppressing the shuttle effect in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. However, developing an efficient synthesis method for such catalysts remains challenging. Here, a sustainable, sulfur-terminated MXene is introduced via a completely dry molten salt process, which avoids the need for harsh acid treatment, byproduct removal, and extensive rinsing, typical in MXene syntheses. Theoretical calculations and electrochemical data confirm that this sulfur-terminated MXene serves as a powerful multifunctional catalyst, promoting rapid lithium diffusion, effective polysulfide adsorption, and superior catalytic performance, making it highly suitable for advanced separators in Li-S batteries. As a result, Li-S cells incorporating sulfur-terminated MXene separators demonstrate a high capacity of 665 mAh g
