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

Solid polymer electrolytes are attractive for solid-state lithium metal batteries due to their flexibility and safety but suffer from low ionic conductivity and unstable interfaces. Conventional polymerization-induced phase separation strategies enhance ion transport yet rely on external components such as deep eutectic solvents or ionic liquids, increasing cost and complexity. Here, a LiTFSI-mediated in-situ polymerization strategy is developed to induce controllable phase separation in a poly(vinylene carbonate) matrix using a single solvent. Electrostatic interactions between lithium salts and the polymer drive self-organized dual phases that combine mechanical robustness with efficient ion transport. The resulting PVC electrolyte achieves a tunable ionic conductivity from 0.20 to 0.92 mS/cm at 25 °C and a high lithium-ion transference number of 0.78. Li|PVC-24h | LiFePO
