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

Closed nanopores in hard carbon (HC) are widely regarded as the primary host for low-voltage plateau capacity in sodium-ion batteries, yet their electrochemical inactivity due to poor accessibility remains a critical bottleneck. Here we report a molecular-templating liquid-phase carbonization strategy that engineers biomass precursors with sodium acetate to unlock closed-pore utilization. Sodium acetate simultaneously enriches oxygen-containing functionalities and generates molecular-scale pre-pores during liquid-phase carbonization, enabling controllable closed-pore density and size in bamboo-derived HC. Upon high-temperature treatment, these pre-pores evolve into percolating mesoporous channels that bridge otherwise isolated closed nanopores, thereby constructing an efficient ion-transport network and markedly shortening the solid-state diffusion distance. As a result, the closed-pore utilization reaches 86%, delivering a substantially enhanced plateau contribution together with an expanded interlayer spacing (
