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 development of high-performance potassium-ion batteries is constrained by the intrinsic trade-off between bulk and interfacial electrolyte properties, a dilemma exacerbated under harsh operating conditions. Here we report a solvation structure engineering strategy to decouple these conflicting factors, breaking this trade-off while enabling non-flammability, stable, and fast-cycling performance in batteries. By incorporating a 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate solvent into a flame-retardant trimethyl phosphate-based electrolyte, we created a dynamic, weakly bound anion-K
