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

Dielectric polymer capacitors are essential for electrostatic energy storage but suffer from charge transport-induced energy losses, particularly at elevated temperatures where thermally activated charge carriers exacerbate conduction. Conventional mitigation strategies rely on introducing heterogeneous interfaces to create charge traps, complicating scalable film fabrication. A homogeneous molecular trapping mechanism would circumvent these complexities, yet remains underexplored. Herein, a charge trapping strategy is devised by modifying the lowest occupied molecular orbitals of dielectric polymers through Lewis acid-base adduct formation. The use of tris(pentafluorophenyl)boron (BCF) as a Lewis acidic molecular additive introduces deeper charge traps in commercial polyetherimide (PEI) while retaining homogeneity. With only 0.5 wt.% loading, the PEI-BCF film exhibits greatly improved breakdown strength, achieving an ultrahigh discharged energy density of 7.3 J cm
