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

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are going through a metamorphosis, progressing toward energy sources and storage that span wearables to grid-based storage; they are now moving toward bionic and space applications too. The performance of LIBs is often hindered by conventional anode materials, which suffer from restricted capacity, excessive volumetric expansion, dendrite formation, and an unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer. This study introduces a breakthrough approach to fabricate vertically integrated silicon-carbon nanotube (VISiCNT) structures directly on copper foil. This architecture not only achieves exceptionally high capacities but also effectively accommodates volumetric expansion and mitigates material delamination. In addition, the high-quality growth of CNTs on copper foil is demonstrated at a rapid rate of 21 μm/min, suitable for roll-to-roll scale-up and large-scale manufacture. An unprecedented systematic investigation of various VISiCNT structural variants revealed that shorter CNTs (<5 μm) with a higher defect density (
