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

Lithium metal batteries possess the high theoretical specific energy owing to the high theoretical specific capacity of lithium metal. However, practical implementations necessitate a reduction in both lithium mass fraction and lithium utilization within the negative electrode to enhance cycling life and suppress dendrite formation, resulting in a practical reversible capacity of only 30 - 50% of the theoretical value. Herein, we present a lithium metal-based multicomponent solid-solution alloy comprising approximately 90 wt.% lithium, with equal atomic ratios of cadmium, silver, magnesium, and aluminium constituting the remaining 10 wt.%. The increased mixing entropy enables high lithium-atom diffusivity, facilitating inward lithium transport into the metal foil rather than the surface deposition typically observed in conventional lithium metal negative electrodes, while simultaneously promoting a thermodynamically stable (110) crystal facet. These factors collectively yield a dendrite-free negative electrode with a reversible specific capacity of 3100 mAh g
