Effects of conventional and ionic liquid-based surfactants and sodium tetraborate on interfacial tension of acidic crude oil.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The application of a new class of surfactants such as ionic liquids (ILs) compared with the conventional surfactants and their interactions with each other concomitant and alkaline under salinities is not well examined based on the best knowledge of the authors. So, the current work focused on the impact of sodium lauryl sulfate (SDS), sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), 1-dodecyl 3-methyl imidazolium chloride (C12mim][Cl]), 1-octadecyl 3-methyl imidazolium chloride ([C18mim][Cl]) in the presence and absence of alkali namely sodium tetraborate known as borax (Na2B4O7) on the IFT variation while the salinity was changed 0-82,000 ppm (ionic strength of 0-1.4 M). The results showed the positive impact of salinity on the pH reduction and reduced the alkaline effect for pH reduction. Also, the measurements showed that the presence of surfactant reduces the role of alkaline for pH variation as it moved from 9.2 to 6.63 for the solution prepared using SLS and SDBS. The measured IFT values showed that not only alkali has a significant impact as it combined with SLS and SDBS due to a desired synergy between these chemicals, it can reduce the critical micelle concentration (CMC) for the SDBS from 1105 to 852 ppm and much higher for [C12mim][Cl].
