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

Gel polymer electrolytes are key components in next-generation energy storage systems, particularly supercapacitors, due to their high ionic conductivity, mechanical robustness, and operational safety. Ionomer-based gels derived from perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) are particularly promising, as their nanophase-segregated morphology enables the formation of three-dimensional ionic clusters capable of absorbing and retaining aqueous electrolytes. In this study, the commercial PFSA D50-U (Thasar S.r.l.) membrane was investigated for the first time as a gel-state ionomer electrolyte and separator in symmetric supercapacitors using coconut shell-derived activated carbon (YP-80F Kuraray Co., Ltd.). The effects of cation type on gel swelling, ionic conductivity, and electrochemical performance were investigated using Na
