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

Sustainable and cost-effective organic electrode materials are promising for next-generation lithium-ion batteries but are hindered by severe shuttle effects. While all-solid-state batteries offer a potential solution, chemical and mechanical incompatibility between organic electrode materials and inorganic solid electrolytes limit areal capacity and cycling stability, falling short of practical requirements. Here, we report a bifunctional indigo natural dye that serves as both an active material and a solid molecular catalyst in sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries, addressing these compatibility challenges. Contrary to the prevailing view that chemical reactions between organic electrode materials and sulfide solid electrolytes are detrimental, our study reveals that controlled reactions between indigo and Li
