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 metal batteries (AZMBs) are promising candidates for next-generation energy storage, but their commercialization is hindered by zinc anode challenges, notably parasitic reactions and dendrite growth. Herein, we present a biodegradable biomass-derived protective layer, primarily composed of curcumin, as a zincophilic interface for AZMBs. The curcumin-based layer, fabricated via a homogeneous solution process, exhibits strong adhesion, uniform coverage, and robust mechanical integrity. Rich polar functional groups in curcumin facilitate homogeneous Zn
