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 development of advanced molten salt electrolytes for thermal batteries has long been hindered by an intrinsic trade-off between low melting point and high ionic conductivity, posing a fundamental limitation to their performance optimization. To address this challenge, this work reports a high-entropy design strategy that breaks this long-standing constraint by leveraging configurational complexity to simultaneously modulate thermodynamic and transport properties. By constructing a quinary LiF-LiCl-LiBr-KBr-CsBr molten salt system, the introduction of multiple ionic species generates substantial lattice distortion and high configurational entropy, leading to a markedly reduced melting point of 229.5°C and 1.19 S cm
