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

Zinc dendrite growth and side reactions remain critical challenges hindering the advancement of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). This study proposes a gel-based strategy for designing high-performance separators by regulating the crystal morphology of the metal-organic framework UiO-66 within a cellulose nanofiber (CNF) gel matrix. The resulting gel-derived separators exhibit distinctive structural and interfacial properties that significantly enhance battery performance. Compared with hierarchical porous structures (H-UiO-66), the octahedral morphology (O-UiO-66) disperses more uniformly in the CNF gel network, forming well-defined ion transport channels through its integrated gel architecture. The fabricated O-UiO-66/CNF gel separator demonstrates exceptional hydrophilicity (contact angle 21°), high porosity (73.2%), and significantly improved zinc ion migration number (0.72). Electrochemical tests reveal that this gel-based separator effectively guides uniform zinc deposition while suppressing dendrite growth. Zn/Zn symmetric cells using the O-UiO-66/CNF gel separator achieve a cycle life exceeding 800 h at 1 mA cm
