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

Room temperature operation of Na-S batteries with liquid electrolytes is plagued by fundamental challenges stemming from polysulfide solubility and their shuttle effects. Inorganic solid electrolytes offer a promising solution by acting as barriers to polysulfide migration, mitigating capacity loss. While the sequential formation of cycling products in molten-electrode and liquid electrolytes-based Na-S batteries generally aligns with the expectations from the Na-S phase diagram, their presence, stability, and transitory behavior in systems with inorganic solid electrolytes at room temperature, remain poorly understood. To address this, we employed operando scanning microbeam X-ray diffraction, operando X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ex-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy to investigate the sulfur conversion mechanisms in Na-S cells with Na
