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

Zn-based aqueous batteries have attracted widespread research attention, while the lack of nucleation theory for electrochemical interactions at the Zn-water interface constrains efforts to suppress the thermodynamically spontaneous hydrogen evolution reaction and dendrite formation, thereby stalling practical development. Elucidating Zn electrodeposition in aqueous media requires Zn-specific nucleation theory and a descriptor to regulate interfacial electrochemistry. Conventional Li-based spherical nucleation models disregard Zn's crystallography and the interfacial resistance that governs nucleation, thereby focusing on polarization variations. In this work, we reformulate the classical spherical nucleation theory derived by Li for the hexagonal close-packed structure of Zn and establish a dimensionless descriptor (W
