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

The increasing demand for sustainable energy storage drives the development of advanced lithium-ion battery (LIB) materials that combine high performance, cost efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Carbon spherogels, characterized by high surface area, interconnected porosity, and high conductivity, are promising electrode candidates; however, they suffer from low specific capacities when used alone. This study presents iron-loaded carbon spherogels as next-generation LIB electrodes, leveraging iron's high theoretical capacity, abundance, and eco-friendliness. A scalable and tailorable synthesis method enabled the integration of tunable iron contents (15-40 mass %) into the carbon framework, forming robust porous networks with uniformly distributed iron nanoparticles. Electrochemical characterization revealed high specific capacities (up to 1190 mAh g
