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 economic recovery of anodes in lithium-ion batteries remains challenging due to their low value. Here, the study presents a cross-sector battery-plastic co-upcycling strategy that transforms spent graphite anodes into bifunctional photothermal catalysts for efficient Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) depolymerization. Upon reaction with ethylene glycol (EG), lithiated graphite spontaneously enables copper foil detachment, graphite regeneration, and in situ formation of organolithium species (C
