Recent advances in sodium-sulfur batteries: cyclability and stability through electrolyte and separator engineering.
Review in RSC advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Metal-sulfur (M-S) batteries are emerging as promising solutions for future energy storage, thanks to their high theoretical energy density and the plentiful supply of sulfur. Among these, sodium-sulfur (Na-S) batteries are gaining popularity as affordable alternatives to lithium-sulfur (Li-S) systems because sodium is widely available and low-cost. However, developing effective room-temperature Na-S batteries for practical use remains challenging because sluggish reaction kinetics, sodium polysulfide dissolution, and shuttle effects together drive rapid capacity degradation. This comprehensive review examines the electrochemical mechanisms governing room-temperature Na-S batteries, with particular emphasis on the solubility and dissolution kinetics of sulfur species across diverse electrolyte systems. It points to the need to synergistically optimise electrolyte chemistry and calls for high-energy (high-concentration liquid, solid/quasi-solid and high-entropy) electrolytes, separator design, and solid-electrolyte interlayer architectures to prevent polysulfide migration and improve electrochemical stability, as well as for advanced experimental approaches (
