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

The increasing demand for high-performance energy devices has prompted the exploration of advanced electrolytic solutions for aqueous energy storage. Redox-enhanced Zn-ion capacitors (RZICs) overcome the limitations of conventional electrochemical capacitors by integrating redox-active molecules into the electrolyte, which enables higher energy density and expanded voltage windows. In this study, we developed organic dye-based colorimetric indicators for the fabrication of functional electrolytes in RZICs. The structural responsiveness of these dyes, driven by proton-electron transfer through electrochromic dynamics, allows real-time monitoring and optimization of the RZICs. The acid-base equilibrium of colorimetric indicators supports pH buffering, resulting in an extended lifespan of Zn||Zn cells up to 4,000 h. The conjugated aromatic structure of the indicators enhances their adsorption onto activated carbon, thereby minimizing the self-discharge in RZICs. Additionally, the phenol-quinone transformation increases the capacity of RZICs to 152.4 mAh g
