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 challenge of dendrite growth limiting metal battery lifespan, despite extensive chemical composition optimizations for artificial solid electrolyte interphases (ASEIs), necessitates the development of ASEI design routes. Regulating the ASEI crystallographic microstructure offers a promising yet underexplored solution with efficacy uncertainty. Critical issue lies in what is the optimal crystallographic microstructure state. Using the ZnS ASEI in aqueous Zn batteries as a case study, here we report the effects of grain orientation and grain boundary density on the performance of Zn negative electrode. The results reveal the existence of an optimal microstructure state-predominant in-plane (111) orientation coupled with a critical grain boundary density of ~55 μm/μm
