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 high flammability problem of Li metal negative electrode has persistently impeded the safe application of energy-dense Li metal batteries. Conventional flame-retardant mixing strategy also fails in addressing this challenge because of the severe function-destroying corrosion reaction between flame retardant and Li metal. In this work, we propose a layered graphene oxide/flame retardant/lithiophilic ZnO layer/Li metal negative electrode for eliminating the corrosion between Li metal and flame retardant, while smartly releasing the thermal-triggered flame-retarding gases for covering and bonding with Li metal against combustion. This smart-flame-retard layered Li negative electrode afford 2677.78% prolonged battery cycle life than the pure Li negative electrode after 600 °C ignition, and 94.68% suppressed side reaction than conventional flame retardant-Li mixture during regular electrode operation. This resolution on the flammability challenge of Li metal negative electrode presents a meaningful advancement for safe Li metal battery construction.
