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 cycling stability and widespread practical implementation of aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) are impeded by dendrite growth and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, theaflavins, a low-cost organic bio-compounds and a major component of tea, were innovatively introduced as an electrolyte additive for AZIBs to address these challenges. When added into the electrolyte, theaflavins, with their strong de-solvation capability, facilitated the more uniform and stable diffusion of zinc ions, effectively suppressing dendrite formation and HER. This, in turn, significantly enhanced the coulombic efficiency (>95% in Zn/Cu system) and the stability of the zinc deposition/stripping process in Zn/Zn system. The Zn/Zn symmetric battery system stably cycled for approximately 3000 h at current densities of 1 mA/cm
