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

Thermal runaway (TR) of lithium-ion batteries caused by electrical, thermal, and mechanical abuse is a primary contributor to electric vehicle (EV) fires. To address the unclear propagation mechanisms and hazard characteristics of thermal runaway fires in full-scale EV battery packs, a comprehensive thermal runaway fire test on battery pack was conducted in this study. The experimental results revealed that TR propagated from individual cells to adjacent cells, ultimately engulfing the entire pack. The combustion dynamics of battery packs differed significantly from those of individual cells, exhibiting rapid fire escalation and complex combustion-explosion behaviors. A thermal radiation prediction model was established based on experimental data, according to the thermal radiation prediction model, the thermal radiation intensity of the battery pack at different distances can be obtained, so that the safe distance between various types of equipment and the electric vehicle can be determined, providing critical insights for designing safety distances and suppressing TR propagation in battery systems of EV.
