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

Sodium (Na) batteries are of growing interest due to the higher earth abundance of sodium than lithium, as well as their promising theoretical energy density when metallic Na anodes are used. However, Na plating and stripping are heavily influenced by the physicochemical properties of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), which is directly influenced by the solvent and salt used for the electrolyte. While most studies focus on the SEI that forms on the surface of Na metal after plating, we expand this analysis by identifying a nanoscale "pre-plating" SEI that forms on the current collector (CC) prior to the onset of Na plating. Here, we systematically investigate an array of Na salt and glyme solvents in the electrolyte and determine the associated impacts on pre-plating SEI formation on aluminum CCs. By combining analytical electrochemistry approaches with a multimodal suite of spectroscopy techniques (X-ray, infrared, and Raman), supported by density functional theory calculations, we reveal a direct correlation between the Na
