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

Reactivating dead alkali metal is an effective strategy for extending the lifespan of alkali metal batteries. Until now, relevant works are mainly concentrated in lithium batteries, however, the reactivation of dead Na remains a mystery. Herein, dead Na reactivation is realized by a reverse-pulse-interspersed charging strategy. Transient large reverse currents are incorporated into the battery charging protocol, during which dead Na can be reactivated by the dielectrophoresis effect. Different from those electrochemical protocols for dead lithium reactivation during discharging or rest, this strategy for reactivating dead Na in charging shows practicality. Moreover, this strategy homogenizes Na deposition by mitigating ion concentration polarization, thus further suppressing dead Na accumulation. As a proof of concept, durable and high-rate anode-free sodium batteries are realized by this strategy. Specifically, the Al | |Na
