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 marine bacterial strain Desulfovibrio ferrophilus IS5, known for its lithotrophic growth ability to use metallic iron as a sole electron donor and for causing corrosion of steel, was used in the current study. Four commonly used biocides in the oil and gas industry, namely tetrakis(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium sulfate (THPS), glutaraldehyde (GLUT), benzalkonium chloride (BAC), and GLUT/BAC were selected to study their efficacy in controlling carbon steel corrosion in the presence of this strain. Incubations containing strain IS5 and low carbon steel coupons were prepared in the presence and absence of the four biocides, and these were monitored using both electrochemical methods (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, linear polarization resistance and potentiodynamic polarization) and surface analyses (scanning electron microscopy, confocal measurements, optical microscopy, and profilometry) to assess the biofilm/metal interactions. When THPS, BAC, and GLUT/BAC treatments were applied, minimal corrosion was measured by all methods. In contrast, severe pitting was observed in the presence of 50 ppm GLUT, similar to what was observed when D. ferrophilus IS5 was incubated in the absence of biocide, suggesting that GLUT alone may not be effective in controlling MIC in marine environments. This study also showed that the use of non-destructive electrochemical methods is effective for screening for real time biocide selection and monitoring of the impact of chemicals post-dosage in oil and gas operations.
