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

In the promotion of aqueous zinc (Zn)-metal batteries, hydrogel electrolytes have been found to come with the capability to physically obstruct dendritic Zn growth and suppress unwanted side reactions compared to their liquid counterparts. However, due to the opposite structural requirements for ionic conductivity and mechanical strength, the preparation of thin-film hydrogel electrolytes for energy-dense Zn-metal batteries remains a formidable task. Herein, electrogelation that offers several unique advantages, including precise control over the thickness, good geometric adaptability, and high tunability of the hydrogels' microstructures and properties, is investigated as a promising technique to address the above-mentioned dilemma. It is shown that, by varying the electrogelation parameters, various biomacromolecular hydrogel electrolytes featuring highly micro-/nanostructured pores can be obtained to deliver simultaneously high mechanical strength (2.0 to 4.4 MPa) and high ionic conductivity (10.1 to 19.5 mS cm
