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

Developing an effective layer to isolate zinc anodes from electrolytes, stop side reactions and help uniform zinc deposition in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) is very important and highly desirable. However, most reported protective layers have less effective ion transport channels and poor zincophilicity, leading to short cycling lifetimes. To address this issue, we try to employ tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives as building units to construct single crystals of new polymers for such protection because these polymers can provide ordered ion-transport channels and strong interactions between sulfur and zinc species. Here, single crystals of a one-dimensional TTF-based organic polymer with square-wave-shaped chains, designated as CityU-51, have been prepared through the assembly of 4,4',5,5'-tetra(isoquinolin-6-yl)-2,2'-bi(1,3-dithiolylidene) and 1,4-bis(benzodioxaborole) benzene
