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 metal batteries (LMBs) promise step-changes in energy densities but suffer from poor cycle life due to unstable electrolyte-lithium interfaces. Conventional carbonate electrolytes exhibit excessive lithium-ion solvation and low oxidative stability, leading to rapid capacity loss. Herein, we report a rationally designed weakly-solvating cyclic sulfonamide, 1-trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide pyrrolidine (TFMSPyr), which integrates an electron-withdrawing trifluoromethanesulfonyl functional group at pyrrolidinic-N. TFMSPyr acts as a pre-ionic-liquid solvent that forms intrinsically localized, anion-dominated solvation, coupling molecular architecture, solvation topology, and transport dynamics. As a result, LiFSI based salt-in-pre-ionic-liquid (SIPIL) electrolytes exhibit high lithium-ion transference number, oxidative stability > 5 V versus Li/Li
