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

Alkaline zinc-iron redox flow batteries (Zn─Fe FBs) are promising candidates for developing high-voltage and cost-effective grid-scale energy storage systems. However, the low ionic conductivity and poor alkaline stability of membranes lead to battery performance degradation and shortened lifespan. Here, we develop fixed ethylene linkage-based polybenzimidazole (FE-PBI) membranes to break this dilemma. Introducing fixed ethylene linkages enlarges the ion transport channel and provides inter-support for polymer chains, thereby preserving highly ordered and flux ion transport channels in the alkaline environment. By this unique channel design, this FE-PBI membrane enables alkaline Zn-based asymmetric FBs to deliver excellent rate performance (up to 240 mA cm
