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

We employ density functional theory (DFT) to investigate how Stone-Wales (SW) defects modulate the electronic and electrochemical properties of two-dimensional silicon carbide (SiC) monolayer for sodium (Na)-, potassium (K)-, and magnesium (Mg)-ion batteries. The SW-SiC structure is energetically feasible and dynamically stable, with defect formation reducing the bandgap by ~ 70% and enhancing electronic conductivity. Compared to pristine SiC, SW-SiC exhibits stronger adsorption for Na (- 0.89 eV) and K (- 1.52 eV) with pronounced charge transfer at the adatom-substrate interface. Theoretical capacities of 300 and 600 mAh g⁻
