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

The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) has significantly increased the demand for lithium (Li)-ion batteries (LIBs), bringing environmental, economic, and technical challenges. Developing recycling methods that ensure economic viability and reduce environmental impact is now critical. Traditional hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical routes, while established and widely applied for LIB recycling, generate substantial volumes of waste (wastewater, slag, toxic gas) and low-value chemical components, e.g., Li
