Experimentally tracing water molecules and mapping high-resolution liquid structure pictures for promising water-in-salt/ionic liquid electrolytes.
Article in National science review, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Maximizing salt concentration to eliminate the active bulk-like water is the underlying logic of the 'water-in-salt' (WiS) strategy in advancing high-voltage aqueous battery chemistries, whereas salts with solubility capable of reaching the WiS regime (typically water-to-salt ratio < 5) are not commonplace. Here, we showcase that, by incorporating certain ionic liquids (ILs), any of the common Zn salts can be formulated into Zn electrolytes that fall into the WiS regime. As a proof-of-concept study, focusing on a ternary Wi(S/IL) system that features a large single-phase liquid region, we demonstrate that the complementary use of infrared/NMR/Raman spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering succeed in precisely depicting how the local environment of H
