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

In today's era, the rise of flexible, biodegradable, and micro-energy storage devices represents the next frontier of sustainable electronics. Despite promising conductivity, carbon nanotube (CNT)-based supercapacitors display modest capacitance and compromised rate performance due to densely packed layers or diffusion paths of ions. To make a promising and sustainable device, we synthesized CNT-inks with enhanced and improved intertubular spacing. Herein, we report improved ion diffusion paths and enhanced interwall spacing by insertion of ions. For the scalable production of microsupercapacitors (MSCs), the Li-ion modified CNT-ink was further processed via screen printing. Coupled with the engineered electrode architecture and wide electrochemical window of bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonamide lithium (LiTFSI) water-in-salt (WIS) electrolyte, the device with limited interdigitated-electrode (IDE) fingers achieved a high areal capacitance (42 mF/cm
