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

Ferroelectric ceramics are promising energy-storage candidates for miniaturizing high-power electronic systems, yet synergistically enhancing energy density and efficiency remains constrained by intricate coupling between chemical compositions and polarization configurations. Achieving high-throughput compositional exploration while solving real-time polarization dynamics is nearly impossible with traditional simulations due to prohibitive computational costs. Here, we propose an inverse design framework integrating a variational generative model with active learning optimization to accelerate the development of ferroelectrics with enhanced energy-storage performance under limited electric fields. By formulating the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation governing domain structure evolution as conditional sampling within model latent space, achieving synergistic optimization of chemistry and polarization configurations. Through four-round closed-loop synthesis, we successfully obtain Bi
