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

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries hold promise as a compelling alternative to current state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries due to their high theoretical capacity, low cost and the natural abundance of sulfur. However, the practical realization of Li-S batteries has been plagued by the longstanding trade-off issue between polysulfide shuttle suppression and Li⁺ transport. Here, we report an ion channel-gated covalent organic framework (COF) as an ionic diode membrane strategy to address this conflicting requirement. By tuning the chemical structure of tethered anions, the resulting COF features 1D anionic channels with optimized charge delocalization and pore size. The bulky anions enhance Li⁺ dissociation and conduction while effectively repelling polysulfides dissolved from S cathodes. Additionally, the COF ionic diode mitigates self-discharge and inhibits parasitic reactions. Consequently, Li-S cells assembled with the COF ionic diode improve charge/discharge capacities and cycle life under constrained operating conditions.
