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
Zinc-based batteries are considered a promising alternative for sustainable energy storage due to their low cost and environmental benefits. However, challenges such as dendrite formation, passivation, and zincate migration hinder their performance and long-term stability. In this study, we address these issues by developing anion-selective poly-(vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium chloride) membranes via cathodic electropolymerization to modify zinc anode. These films were designed to confine zincate ions and reduce passivation and shape change during cycling while preventing self-discharge and avoiding the contact between metallic Zn and active water. Under extremely harsh testing conditions (closed cell, small amount of electrolyte), the Zn anode is modified with electropolymerized polymer and shows significantly improved performance compared to bare Zn foil. The highly rechargeable Zn anode reported is an important step toward practical Zn secondary aqueous batteries. This work proposes an improved, water-based strategy for zinc anode modification with electropolymerized anion-exchange films that improves the performance in alkaline electrolytes, as demonstrated by fundamental electrochemical tests and cycling of Zn-Ni batteries.
