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.
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
Despite extensive research conducted on plating and dendrite formation in lithium batteries, the molecular formation processes are not yet fully understood. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) sensitively detects metallic Li species but misses non-paramagnetic ones. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is chemically selective, yet exhibits low sensitivity under low-field conditions. Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) overcomes this by transferring electron spin polarization to nuclei. Here, correlative EPR and DNP-enhanced [Formula: see text] NMR of lithium on copper is demonstrated using a custom setup operating at 0.34 T with a sweepable electromagnet. DNP experiments were conducted in pulsed mode to minimize sample heating. The resulting enhanced [Formula: see text] NMR signal allows the observation of electrochemically deposited lithium on copper, harvested from a Cu vs. Li cell, with an enhancement [Formula: see text]. By changing the magnetic field strength by a few Gauss, the saturation of the conduction EPR transition was varied, leading to an altered Knight shift of metallic [Formula: see text]. The corresponding change of the DNP-polarized [Formula: see text] chemical shifts in the range from 240 ppm to 80 ppm allowed an indirect, saturation-based distinction of EPR species. Moreover, an enhancement ε by a factor of about 2 of the [Formula: see text]H signal from the surrounding electrolyte of electrochemically deposited lithium was observed, indicating the potential to investigate the solid-electrolyte interface (SEI). The setup employed a battery cell housing developed for EPR, demonstrating its suitability for in operando experiments in the future.
