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

High-concentration electrolytes are promising candidates for high-energy-density lithium metal batteries, yet their practical application is hindered by sluggish ionic transfer and high costs. Here, we show an interfacial high-concentration electrolyte that overcomes these limitations by localizing 5 M LiTFSI electrolyte at the Li anode surface, while maintaining a 1 M electrolyte in the bulk. This approach is facilitated by a bi-continuous phase-separated polymer layer that provides physical confinement and leverages hydrogen-bonding and ion-dipole interactions to prevent salt diffusion from the interfacial layer into the bulk electrolyte. This design preserves the high ionic conductivity of the bulk electrolyte while ensuring sufficient Li
