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

Achieving high specific energy in lithium metal batteries requires rational electrolyte design to promote effective interphase formation. State-of-the-art electrolyte design strategies fall short because they lack fundamental guidelines that connect solvent characteristics with electrolyte properties. Here we explain the influence of the medium environment on solvation states and anion reduction, and propose a mediator-enhanced electrolyte design strategy by quantitatively exploring various solvent classes using designed polarity indices. The solvent mediator approach generates, at the nanoscale, intermolecular electrostatic fields through separated solvent surface charges, enhancing interactions to better accommodate solvated lithium ions and decreasing the reduction energy barrier for anions. These tailored mediator-enhanced electrolyte solutions (MEEs) exhibit stable solvation states and adequate interphase formation, enabling robust interfacial chemistries and preventing side reactions. Using the MEE design in a 6-Ah Li ‖ LiNi
