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

Rechargeable zinc-ion battery development has experienced a surge of literature interest. The use of nonaqueous molecules opens up areas of electrolyte design space that has shown promise in overcoming the traditional limitations of aqueous zinc systems. This review aims to illuminate the fundamental characteristics of zinc-ion electrolytes, their interactions at the electrode-electrolyte interfaces of the battery, and their implications for reversibility and stability. The underlying principles of zinc-ion solvation in solely nonaqueous and aqueous-nonaqueous hybrids enable the correlation of coordination environments, anion selection, and solvent polarity to key performance criteria including deposition morphology, Coulombic efficiency, and electrochemical stability window. By combining molecular-level design principles with a retrospective of nonaqueous electrolyte trends and successes, this article provides a succinct analysis of the last decade of structure-property insights derived from nonaqueous molecules to propel further development of nonaqueous and aqueous-nonaqueous zinc-ion electrolytes.
