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 coin cell form factor has become a standard in energy storage research owing to its relatively low cost, low quantity of requisite electroactive material, fast experimental turnover, and capability to generate publishable quality data. Coin cell assembly at the lab-scale requires precise manual alignment of the many internal components of a cell to yield a properly functioning device. Truly repeatable device assembly presents a significant challenge to the acquisition of reliable data. In this report, we present a three-dimensional (3D) printable design for a coin cell alignment device and describe techniques for a generalized workflow to achieve reproducible coin cell assembly of lithium-based batteries. Standardized assembly techniques using readily accessible, purpose-built tools were demonstrated for lab-scale production of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) coin cells. Li-S batteries fabricated using the alignment device as well as conductive adhesive incorporated workflows afforded coin cells with up to 35% reduction of assembly times, comparable or better functional cell yields, and improved electrochemical device performance with more consistent and up to 150 mAh/g higher average discharge capacities coupled with Coulombic efficiency increases of up to 2.0% over manually aligned cell assembly techniques.
