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

Driven by global strategies for decarbonization and carbon neutrality, renewable-energy intermittency underscores the importance of large-scale electrochemical energy storage (EES). Rechargeable batteries, as the core components within EES, have long been restricted by limitations intrinsic to conventional dilute electrolytes, including narrow electrochemical stability windows, poor low-temperature performance, high flammability, and weak compatibility with high-voltage electrodes. Regulation of solvation structure in electrolytes has emerged as a key approach to overcome these bottlenecks. This review highlights five representative strategies: highly concentrated electrolytes, localized high-concentration electrolytes, weakly solvating electrolytes, hydrogen-bond regulated electrolytes, and eutectic electrolytes. These strategies have greatly advanced Li-ion, Na-ion, Zn-ion, Li-S, Li-air, and Na-S batteries. Finally, challenges ahead and opportunities in solvation-structure design are summarized to guide innovative and sustainable progress in next-generation energy storage technologies.
