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 dual regulation of sulfur redox kinetics and lithium deposition behavior represents a pivotal breakthrough toward overcoming the performance limitations of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Metal-based organic molecules provide an ideal solution for rationalizing the electrolyte electrochemistry in Li-S system, featuring both nitrogen-rich properties and active metal centers. Herein, we leverage the solubility of iron phthalocyanine chloride (FePcCl) in the electrolyte to induce phase separation. The dissolved portion (FePcCl solute) functions as a homogeneous catalyst (Fe-Hom), whilst the insoluble fraction is uniformly loaded onto carbon spheres to act as a heterogeneous catalyst (Fe-Het). The homogeneous/heterogeneous synergistic catalyst system (Fe-Syg), developed through precise phase-separation engineering, enables the coexistence of mobile and immobilized active sites. This synergy maximizes the working activity of Fe-Syg beyond the limitations of single-phase catalysts, simultaneously regulating sulfur conversion kinetics and lithium plating/stripping behavior toward high-efficiency and robust electrodes. As a result, the Li-S batteries incorporating Fe-Syg demonstrate favorable rate capability and operational lifespan under various conditions. Remarkably, a pouch cell assembled with a lean electrolyte dosage of 3.5 µL mg
