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

Scalable synthesis of electrochemically inert nanofilms with precise spatial and compositional control enables rational design of solid-electrolyte interphases (SEIs) in rechargeable batteries. Ion and molecule transport through SEIs largely determines the cycling stability of high-energy rechargeable metal and metal-ion batteries, where electroreduction during charging often occurs beyond electrolyte stability limits. We report nanometer-thick gradient zwitterionic polymer (G-ZWP) interphases, synthesized via a scalable solvent-free method, to regulate transport and electroreduction kinetics at Li-metal anodes, achieving stable cycling. The synthesis combines initiated chemical vapor deposition and diffusion-limited vapor derivatization to form a zwitterionic top layer with high ionic conductivity and an inner covalently cross-linked layer blocking solvent access while remaining stable at reducing potentials. Cu substrates with G-ZWP interphases show >2000-hour cycling at 1 milliampere per square centimeter [6 milliampere hours per square centimeter (mA·hour/cm
