Article in Nature materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Anode-free lithium (Li) metal batteries are promising candidates for high-performance energy storage applications. Nonetheless, their translation into practical applications has been hindered by the slow kinetics and reversibility of Li plating and stripping on copper foils. Here we report a two-dimensional polyamide (2DPA)/lithiated Nafion (LN) interphase layer for anode-free Li metal batteries. Through molecular engineering, we construct a 2DPA layer with a large conjugated structure and Li-ion adsorption groups that show efficient adsorption, distribution and nucleation of Li ions. 2DPA molecules assembled into two-dimensional sheets are further incorporated with LN to create an ultrathin interphase layer with high-rate, high-capacity Li plating/stripping. These 2DPA/LN layers have higher rate capabilities and maximal energy and power densities compared with alternative polymer interphase layers, enabling the fabrication of an anode-free pouch cell with high performance. Overall, our interphase engineering approach is a promising tool to push the translation of anode-free Li metal batteries based on two-dimensional polymer interphase layers into practical devices, and enable the fabrication of energy storage technologies with high energy and power densities.
