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

Interfacial instability remains the primary obstacle to realizing high-energy Li-metal batteries (LMBs). Here, we demonstrate that ZnO can function not as a conventional anode material but as a facet-engineered interfacial regulator that stabilizes Li-metal deposition. Using electrothermal-wave (ETW) processing, we precisely modulate atomic diffusion kinetics to tailor the crystal facet orientation and morphology of ZnO nanostructures on carbon fibers. This controllable platform enables decoupling the facet- and morphology-dependent effects on interfacial stability. Mechanistic analyses reveal that the semipolar (101) facet forms a conductive Li-Zn interface that promotes uniform Li nucleation and enables long-term plating/stripping stability (>800 h), whereas the polar (002) facet generates an insulating Li
