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 stability of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on lithium metal anodes is critical to improving the performance and safety aspects of rechargeable batteries. In this work, density functional theory-based molecular dynamics (DFT-MD) is used to investigate the interfacial decomposition pathways of an equimolar LiTFSI-tetraglyme (G4) electrolyte on the Li(100) surface at 350 and 500 K. The simulations predict a rapid decomposition for the TFSI anion at the interface, while tetraglyme molecules remain intact throughout the simulation. Bader charge analysis and projected density of states (PDOS) calculations show the anode stripping via charge transfer from the Li metal surface to the TFSI anion fragments, driving continuous electrolyte degradation. This study provides atomic-level description into the origin of various SEI components (Li
