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 increasing demand for high-energy-density batteries pushes practical aqueous Zn-based batteries. However, high Zn utilization achieved in coin symmetric cells is unable to translate to full cells, especially large pouch cells, due to the poor reversibility of Zn and capacity output of high-loading positive electrodes. Here, solid-solid interfacial conversion mechanisms via chelation at electrodes-electrolyte interfaces effectively suppress parasitic reactions being widely prevalent under traditional solid-liquid conversion mechanisms. Consequently, high Zn utilization ( ≥ 78.3%) is unified across coin symmetric, coin full and pouch full cells. The Zn | |I
