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

One of the key challenges in using natural extracts for water treatment is their biodegradability and susceptibility to microbial spoilage, which can limit storage and long-term effectiveness. This study investigates the scale inhibition capabilities of an aqueous extract of Salvia rosmarinussp through electrochemical measurements, conductivity tests, and morphological examination. Additionally, two natural substances, Rhamnolipid and Chitosan, were evaluated as bio-preservatives to prevent mold growth and enhance the shelf life of the rosemary extract. The reasons for selecting these specific bio-preservatives include their known antimicrobial properties, antioxidant effects, environmental benefits, and suitability for the intended application. For 24 weeks, we conducted a microbial examination and assessed the anti-scaling performance of the extract in combination with the bio-preservatives. The results demonstrate that rosemary extract significantly inhibits CaCO
