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-ion batteries persistently encounter interface issues stemming from the water-rich electrical double layer and unstable solid-electrolyte interphase, drastically compromising reversibility and cyclability. Here we show that trace amounts of nonionic amphiphilic polysorbate additives promote the formation of water-shielding electric double layer and stabilize solid-electrolyte interphase for practical zinc-ion batteries. We demonstrate that polysorbate molecules can produce preferential chemisorption and directional arrangement on the Zn anode, spontaneously forming water-shielding layer to suppress the water-related side reactions. Simultaneously, polysorbate molecules can assist the construction of organic-inorganic hybrid interphase, which effectively regulates the uniform distribution of electric field and guides preferential orientation Zn deposition to achieve ordered plating/stripping with high Zn utilization. Consequently, the polysorbate-containing electrolyte enables a long cycle life of 8060 h at 1 mA cm
