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

In response to the demanding requirements of next-generation energy storage systems for high-energy density, high-power density, and ultra-long-cycle life, the academic community has continued to focus on coupled devices that combine battery-level energy and capacitor-level power characteristics. Zinc-ion capacitors (ZICs) have become the most promising strategic candidate system for energy storage technology due to their high-energy/power characteristics, excellent intrinsic safety, and significant cost advantages. In this review, the latest research progress of ZICs is reviewed from the perspective of system. Firstly, ZICs are divided into zinc metal anode//capacitive cathode ZICs (ZC-ZICs) and capacitive anode//battery-type cathode ZICs (CB-ZICs) according to the device configuration, and the energy storage mechanisms are analyzed in depth. At the same time, focusing on the two configurations of ZC-ZICs and CB-ZICs and their electrolyte systems, problem-oriented the key puzzles and corresponding solutions are sorted out one by one. Finally, based on the above discussion, this review proposes forward-looking suggestions for material modifications of ZICs, including pulse voltage activation, application of high-entropy materials, and the development of stable and multi-functional electrolytes, aiming to provide scientific guidance for the practical application of high-performance ZICs and promote the in-depth development of high-performance ZICs research.
