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

With the rapid development of renewable energy and the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, thermal runaway (TR) in batteries has become a critical safety concern. Despite various protective technologies, TR remains frequent due to challenges in metal dendrite growth, material stability, and efficient thermal management. Inspired by natural structures and functions, biological principles have been abstracted to guide novel biomimetic approaches. This review focuses on TR mechanisms, summarizes the corresponding biomimetic principles, and discusses their applications in functional design strategies to enhance battery safety and stability. First, the review outlines current TR protection designs from both intrinsic and system safety perspectives, analyzing biomimetic strategies to enhance intrinsic safety by improving the thermal stability of battery components to reduce the risk of TR. Next, it explores the application of biomimetic designs in thermal management and protection mechanisms, including innovations in thermal management and structure. Finally, this review consolidates the findings from the preceding sections on biomimetic designs for TR protection, emphasizing current challenges and potential future directions, to offer new technical insights and guidance for research on thermal safety in batteries.
