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

Metal corrosion is a major global concern in many economic sectors. The degradation of metal surfaces is responsible for losses in values that account for about 3% of gross domestic product (GDP) only in the US. Parts of all corrosion processes described in different environments are present mainly in marine environments. The marine environment is characterized as favoring the corrosion processes of several metallic alloys, damaging structures used in the construction of ships, ports, oil pipelines, and others. Despite chemical corrosion being the most frequently described in these environments, studies show the participation of microorganisms in direct corrosion processes or in the acceleration/influence of the corrosive action, through the formation of complex biofilms. These structures create favorable conditions for microorganisms to degrade metal surfaces, causing damage known as pitting and crevices. Currently, diverse technicians are employed in biocorrosion research, e.g. electronic microscopy, and DNA sequencing. These techniques have clarified the dynamic process of the formation of biofilm structures, allowing understanding of the succession of different species during the evolution of the structure. Improving the understanding of how this interaction between biofilm and metallic surface occurs will enable better evaluation of strategies to avoid or decelerate the degradation of metallic structures in marine environments.
