Harnessing anisotropy in liquid crystal elastomer based lithium-ion gel-polymer batteries.
Article in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Recently we showed the potential of unaligned lithium-ion doped nematic Liquid Crystal Elastomer (LCE)-based quasi-solid (gel-polymer) electrolytes for batteries demonstrating excellent charge-discharge capacities. In this work, we study the effect of the alignment of LCE on the battery performance. We report the first investigation of homeotropically aligned LCEs in lithium-ion batteries and systematically compare their performance with planar aligned samples. We demonstrate that with increased ionic liquid (IL) loading, the homeotropic alignment (director is perpendicular to the electrodes) exhibits higher conductivity compared to planar alignment (director is parallel to the electrodes), underscoring the tunability of LCE-based electrolytes. The samples with the highest IL loading in both alignments exhibit a room temperature conductivity of ∼1 mS cm
