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

Conventional brine evaporation leads to substantial lithium losses through the formation of lithium-containing solid precipitates that accumulate as salt stockpiles. Increasing global demand for lithium calls for selective and scalable extraction strategies for such solid materials. Solid-liquid extraction (SLE) enables direct processing of lithium-bearing solids without prior dissolution of the inorganic matrix; however, suitable molecular extractants are scarce and often synthetically complex. Here, we show that long-known sodium-selective ionophores display a clear preference for lithium in solution and function as lithium-selective extractants under SLE conditions. Hosts 1a-h are based on a modular scaffold accessible from catechol and N,N-disubstituted haloacetamides and are readily prepared on a multigram scale (up to 58 g per batch). Lithium recognition proceeds through a hydration-assisted binding mode, in which Li
