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

The rapid acceleration of global electrification has increased demand for sustainable energy storage, making lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) essential for various applications. However, their limited lifespan presents challenges related to resource waste and environmental risks. Unlike traditional metallurgical methods, which extract key metals from spent cathodes, the direct recycling process repairs damaged materials, maximizing their residual value through effective treatments. Despite widespread interest, systematic protocols to guide interdisciplinary researchers in direct recycling studies remain scarce. Using spent LiMn
