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

Seawater zinc-air batteries (SZABs) stand out as promising candidates for marine and offshore energy supply. However, their practical implementation is greatly restricted by tardy oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics at the air cathode, severe chloride ion-induced catalyst corrosion, and structural deterioration of traditional binder-containing electrodes in seawater media. Herein, we design and fabricate a binder-free integrated electrode consisting of carbon-supported iron phthalocyanine- modified star-like cobalt sulfide arrays directly grown on nickel foam. The optimal catalyst (0.3FePc-C/CoS) integrates the respective advantages of Fe single atoms and cobalt sulfide, exhibiting excellent ORR and OER activity, delivering a prominent half-wave potential of 0.89 V versus RHE, and exhibiting a low OER overpotential of 160 mV at 50 mA cm
