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

Aqueous zinc (Zn)-ion batteries hold great promise as renewable energy storage system for carbon-neutral energy transition. However, Zn anodes suffer from poor Zn plating/stripping reversibility due to Zn dendrite growth and side reactions. Existing Zn interfacial modification strategies based on single-component or homogeneous structure are insufficient to address these issues comprehensively. Herein, we rationally designed an organic-inorganic hybrid interfacial layer with rigid-to-soft graded structure for dendrite-free and stable Zn anodes. A liquid plasma-assisted oxidation technology is developed to rapidly construct a porous ZnO inner framework in situ. This ZnO layer offers high interfacial energy, mechanical robustness, and an open structure that facilitates ion transport while firmly anchoring a subsequently coated soft polymer layer. The resulting architecture presents a structurally graded and functionally complementary interface, enabling effective dendrite suppression, continuous Zn ion transport, and enhanced corrosion resistance. As a result, a long cycling stability of more than 6000 h can be achieved at 1 mA cm
