Organosilicons of different molecular size and chemical structure as consolidants for waterlogged archaeological wood - a new reversible and retreatable method.

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
Ineffectiveness of the chemicals applied so far for waterlogged wood conservation created the need to develop new more, efficient and reliable agents. As an alternative, a new method with the use of organosilicon compounds differing in chemical composition and molecular weight has been investigated. The results obtained show the potential of organosilicons as consolidants in waterlogged wood conservation able to effectively stabilise wood dimensions upon drying. The best wood stabilisers were low-molecular organosilicons enable to penetrate the cell wall as well as chemicals with functional groups capable of interacting with wood polymers and forming stabilising coatings on the cell wall surface. The best anti-shrink efficiency values were obtained for (3-Mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane, (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, 1,3-Bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, reaching 98, 91 and 91%, respectively. Most of the applied organosilicons reduced wood hygroscopicity, which limits the risk of further dimensional changes of wood exposed to a variable air moisture content and potentially reduces wood biodegradation. In the light of our studies, the proposed method of waterlogged wood conservation with organosilicons is potentially reversible in the case of siloxanes and amino-silanes as well as retreatable, which complies with the requirements of the conservation ethics.
