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 batteries (LSBs), possessing excellent theoretical capacities, advanced theoretical energy densities, low cost, and nontoxicity, are one of the most promising energy storage battery systems. However, some issues, including poor conductivity of elemental S, the "shuttle effect" of high-order lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), and sluggish reaction kinetics, hinder the commercialization of LSBs. To solve these problems, various carbon-based aerogels with developed surface morphology, tunable pores, and electrical conductivity have been examined for immobilizing sulfur, mitigating its volume variation and enhancing its electrochemical kinetics. In this paper, an extensive generalization about the effective preparation methods of carbon-based aerogels comprising the combined method of carbonization with the gelation of precursors and drying processes (ambient pressure drying, freeze-drying, and supercritical drying) is proposed. And we summarize various carbon carbon-based aerogels, mainly including graphene aerogels (Gas) and carbon nanofiber (CNF) and carbon nanotube (CNT) aerogels as cathodes, separators, and interlayers in LSBs. In addition, the mechanism of action of carbon-based aerogels in LSBs is described. Finally, we conclude with an outlook section to provide some insights into the application of carbon-based aerogels in electrochemical energy storage devices. Based on the discussion and proposed recommendations, we provide more approaches on nanomaterials in high-performance liquid or state LSBs with high electrochemical performance in the future.
