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

Despite striking advantages in terms of cost and safety, penetration of rechargeable Mg batteries into the commercial market is still hampered by major technical challenges, including intrinsic hypersensitivity of Mg metal to moisture, which readily forms a compact ion-insulating film on the surface. To unlock this critical constraint, a moisture-tolerant Mg electrode is developed that is capable of efficient Mg plating-stripping even in the highly moist electrolytes. Here we show that short immersion of Mg metal in trimethyl phosphate creates a sacrificial protection layer containing dimethyl magnesium in magnesium dimethyl phosphate, which synergistically scavenges water molecules from the electrolytes instantly, enabling manufacturing of Mg-ion cells under moist and/or atmospheric conditions. This simple and scalable strategy provides a practical route to reducing the manufacturing costs of rechargeable Mg batteries, thereby expediting their early commercialization.
