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

Lithium (Li) metal plating in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) poses critical challenges for fast charging, contributing to capacity fading and safety concerns. Addressing this issue requires the development of nondestructive tools that can characterize the inhomogeneity of Li in batteries. Here, we demonstrate X-ray Raman scattering (XRS) spectroscopy as a powerful new technique for the characterization of Li in LIBs. Using spatially resolved XRS, we analyzed a graphite electrode subjected to rapid charge-discharge cycling, which induced Li metal deposition, and for the first time, successfully mapped the chemical state of Li on and inside the graphite electrode. Importantly, the XRS method enabled nondestructive detection of both deposited Li metal and Li species within the electrode sealed in Al-laminated films. This operando-compatible methodology offers a pathway for obtaining deep mechanistic insights into Li behavior in LIBs.
