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

Direct experimental visualization of the electrical double layer (EDL) and its associated layer formation at metal-electrolyte interfaces remains challenging yet is essential for understanding interfacial instability in zinc metal anodes. Herein, we engineer a PEO/PIM-1 hybrid polymer (PIP) as an artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) that replaces field-driven interfacial ion accumulation with confined ion buffering, thereby suppressing EDL amplification and chaotic interfacial dynamics. Liquid-phase atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements demonstrate the elimination of voltage-dependent force amplification upon PIP modification, evidencing effective decoupling of electric-field-induced ion crowding at the Zn surface. In situ Raman spectroscopy, electrochemical analysis, and molecular dynamics simulations further reveal reduced interfacial water activity, regulated ion distribution, and homogeneous Zn stripping and deposition. PIP significantly enhances anode stability, enabling Zn|Zn symmetric cells to cycle for 2700 h and delivering a Coulombic efficiency of 98.6% in Zn|Ti cells. When coupled with I
