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

Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are increasingly recognized as promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their high energy density, safety, low cost, and the natural abundance of zinc. However, the widespread adoption of ZIBs is limited by fundamental issues associated with the zinc metal anode, including dendrite formation, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), passivation, self-corrosion, and poor cycling stability. In recent years, substantial efforts have been made to address these challenges through approaches such as 3D current collector design, alloying, surface modification, and electrolyte engineering. This review provides a systematic, Zn-anode-focused summary of these advances, with emphasis on structural engineering, interface stabilization, and electrolyte tailoring to improve Zn
