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

Integrating high-nickel cathodes with lithium metal anodes enables ultrahigh-energy-density batteries but remains challenged by electrolyte instability under extreme temperatures. Here, we design an anion-dominated loose solvation structure, where fluorine-rich weak solvents occupy coordination sites. γ-Valerolactone (GVL) serves as the primary solvent, assisted by two weakly coordinating co-solvents: difluoroethylene carbonate (DFEC) to modulate solvation and ethyl trifluoroacetate (ETFA) to reduce viscosity and freezing point. This balanced solvation environment enhances ionic transport, interfacial stability, and desolvation kinetics. Consequently, Li||NCM811 cells deliver stable cycling at 100°C, exceeding 90 cycles, negligible capacity loss at -40°C, and 90.4 mAh g
