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
This study investigates the impact of a novel compound biomass surfactant on the molecular structure and functional group characteristics of Huainan Liuzhuang coal via Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The experimental results reveal marked differences between raw, distilled water-treated, and surfactant-modified samples, particularly in the transformation of hydroxyl, aliphatic, and oxygen-containing functional groups: (1) The coal's IR spectra are categorized into four key absorption bands, representing hydroxyl groups, aliphatic hydrocarbons, oxygen-containing functional groups, and aromatic hydrocarbons. (2) Surfactant treatment reduces the total hydroxyl group content but increases hydroxyl-hydrogen bonding, enhancing coal's structural stability. (3) The aliphatic side chains in modified coal become shorter, with the 3:7 compound ratio yielding the highest aliphatic group content. (4) C-O-C stretching vibrations condense into aryl ethers, increasing aromatic ring condensation, particularly at the 3:7 ratio. (5) Aromatic hydrocarbon diversity decreases as side chains detach from benzene rings, with ortho-trisubstituted structures (3 H) becoming more prominent. The outcomes demonstrate that compound biomass surfactant treatment induces significant functional group restructuring in coal, notably enhancing its wettability and gas desorption capacity, and providing promising avenues for application in coalbed methane recovery and spontaneous combustion prevention.
