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

Disordered dendrite growth and corrosion reactions of zinc negative electrodes remain critical challenges in aqueous zinc metal batteries. Regulating water states in shear-thickening non-Newtonian fluid electrolytes has emerged as a promising strategy to simultaneously suppress dendrite growth and corrosion for zinc negative electrodes. Herein, we design a multifunctional shear-thickening non-Newtonian fluid electrolyte, based on carboxymethyl cellulose and sulfonate silicon oxide nanoparticles, which addresses both issues through hierarchical regulation of water molecule states. Carboxymethyl cellulose converts free water into weakly bound water, thereby suppressing water-induced parasitic reactions. Concurrently, sulfonated SiO
