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

Ca metal anode suffers from surface passivation and struggles to effectively plate and strip in conventional Ca electrolytes, making the development of alloy anode for calcium metal battery essential. This work systematically and carefully evaluates the electrochemical formation and feasibility of the Sn anode and its possibility of alloying with Ca using a combination of cyclic voltammetry, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and synchrotron transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM). Electrochemical measurements and SEM/EDS analyses indicate apparent Ca alloy formation. However, detailed XRD and TXM characterization reveal substantial lithium-ion involvement when lithium metal is employed as the reference electrode, even in electrolytes with high Ca salt concentrations. These findings highlight a significant risk of misinterpretation: Although limited Ca-Sn alloying may occur, the faster kinetics of Li
