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.
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
Cryogenic energy storage is crucial for the development of frontier nanoelectronics, including deep-space exploration (down to 90 K) and quantum computing (≤4 K). However, conventional electrochemical energy storage systems (such as secondary batteries and electrochemical capacitors) underperform at temperatures below ∼230 K due to restricted ion mobility. Although relaxor-based dielectric capacitors provide high energy efficiency (>80%) above ∼200 K, the intrinsic freezing/growth of polar nanodomains (that is, nanometric regions with local electric polarization) in the extended cryogenic regime (<120 K) limits their practical applications due to deteriorated polarization hysteresis losses. Here we overcome this detrimental effect by engineering a unit-cell disordered dipole-glass state near the antiferroelectric-paraelectric phase boundary. The antiferroelectric-derived dipole glass introduces enhanced unit-cell-level complexity in dipole interactions, thereby suppressing long-range ferroelectric order. This nanoengineering approach enables very low polarization hysteresis operation (with an efficiency >88%) down to 4 K, delivering an energy density of 211 J cm
