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) have emerged as a promising and safer alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their cost-effectiveness, material abundance, and the use of non-flammable aqueous electrolytes; however, the widespread adoption of ZIBs is still hindered by challenges such as dendrite formation, hydrogen evolution, and electrode passivation. Herein, the electroplating of carbon nano-onions (CNOs) and Cu is demonstrated to form a CNO-embedded-Cu coating onto Cu foil for use as Zn anode current collectors, which facilitates high zinc plating/stripping efficiency (99.89%) over 1400 cycles. This CNO-embedded-Cu coating ensures high conductivity of the substrate surface and stabilizes Zn deposition by embedded CNOs. This CNO@Cu film achieves long-term cycling with an 85.5% depth of discharge over 176 h, outperforming traditional Cu (102 h). Further, a ZIB fabricated with a CNO@Cu current collector in an anode-free configuration paired with a zincified NH
