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

The growing penetration of renewable energy sources has intensified the demand for safe, sustainable, and cost-effective energy-storage technologies. Aqueous lithium-ion batteries are promising candidates because of their intrinsic safety and high ionic conductivity, though their deployment is limited by narrow electrochemical stability window of water. Lithium titanate oxide (LTO) has emerged as an ideal anode material for aqueous systems because of its exceptional structural stability, negligible volume change during lithiation/delithiation, and relatively high operating potential that suppresses hydrogen evolution. This review examines the peer-reviewed literature (2010-2026) on LTO-based aqueous lithium-ion batteries, focusing on the interdependence between material synthesis, electrode fabrication, electrolyte engineering, and electrochemical performance. Scalable fabrication techniques, such as spray deposition and tape casting, are discussed alongside their pact on electrode quality. Attention is given to water-in-salt, gel-polymer, and localized high-concentration electrolytes that expand the stability window and improve interfacial behavior. Overall, the review highlights how electrolyte design, electrode architecture, and processing methods can be jointly tailored to support stable and scalable LTO-based aqueous lithium-ion batteries systems.
