Improving process granularity of life cycle inventories for battery grade nickel.
Article in Npj materials sustainability, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Batteries are essential to transition to a fossil-free energy system, but only if coherently planned will their manufacturing generate minimal environmental impacts. Aggregated life cycle inventories for battery-grade nickel prevent life cycle analysts from easily pinpointing key impact contributors. The present work reconstructs inventories via disaggregation of current and emerging processing routes. Improving process granularity demonstrates variability in climate impacts of 74 kgCO
