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

With the popularization of electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have begun to be used in large quantities, and the scale of the waste batteries is large and growing rapidly. So, the environmental pressure faced and the economic benefits contained in waste batteries are rapidly increasing every year. The valuable metals (e.g., Ni, Co and Mn) in the cathodes of LIBs are important non-renewable resources with high recovery value. So, the recovery and reuse of valuable metals in waste LIBs have constituted an important issue of concern. This review focuses on the hydrometallurgy of spent-LIB cathode, the extraction of valuable metals (solvent extraction and filtration), and co-precipitation methods. A perspective and outlook associated with the challenges and limitations of current hydrometallurgy research is proposed for breakthrough development of such technology for future industrialization.
