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) are widely recognized as promising next-generation energy storage systems for electric vehicles and portable electronics owing to their exceptionally high theoretical energy density and specific capacity. However, their practical implementation is fundamentally constrained by severe interfacial and morphological instabilities, including lithium dendrite growth, dead lithium formation, continuous parasitic side reactions, and low Coulombic efficiency during cycling. These coupled degradation processes lead to rapid capacity fading and significant safety concerns. Anode-free lithium metal batteries (AFLMBs), which rely on
