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
Iron artifacts undergo complex corrosion processes, depending on the burial environment. Understanding the formation mechanism of corrosion products is crucial for preservation of artifacts and helps design strategies for future iron artifacts protection. Mössbauer spectroscopy was primarily utilized in this work to analyze the corrosion products formed on iron artifacts. The corrosion products were identified as consisting of goethite, lepidocrocite, magnetite, and maghemite. Low-temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy was performed for the accurate identification and quantitative analysis of superparamagnetic iron corrosion products. The results indicated that the surface corrosion products mainly consist of goethite and superparamagnetic goethite, with small amounts of lepidocrocite, magnetite, and/or maghemite. A cross-sectional analysis of the corrosion layers on an artifact was performed to better understand the corrosion products and their formation mechanisms. The products formed in different sections (metal, intermediate, and surface) of the corrosion layers on the iron artifact were identified, and a corrosion mechanism was proposed. The intermediate layer adjacent to the metal contains magnetite, maghemite, and lepidocrocite. The results presented in this study provide a deeper understanding of the iron corrosion process, laying a solid foundation for the development of an effective strategy for preserving iron artifacts.
