Historically, do short-term Treasuries typically beat inflation?

With the flight-to-safety under way, the question is whether short-term Treasuries/SGOV can reliably beat inflation and thus protect you from that risk as well. 1/3-month Treasuries are doing so today, but how often do their real yields exceed 0?

If anyone can point to data sets/charts that show the historical record of short-term Treasury **real** yields, I would be grateful.
