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
Guanidine benzothiazole (G) and 1-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-3-methylguanidine (AG) were successfully synthesized and characterized by infrared (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Both compounds act as novel corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid solution. Their inhibition efficiency was evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Surface analysis via scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) confirmed the formation of a protective film on the steel surface. PDP results indicate that G and AG function as mixed-type inhibitors, with inhibition efficiency increasing with concentrations, reaching a maximum of 80% for G and 91.4% AG. The AG compound was seen to retard the rate of corrosion of carbon steel more effective than PP compound. Adsorption followed the Langmuir isotherm, suggesting monolayer adsorption on the metal surface. The high inhibition efficiencies were attributed to strong adsorption and the formation of a dense, protective barrier film. The corrosion inhibition performance of the synthesized molecule was evaluated using density functional theory (DFT). Quantum chemical parameters, including highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest occupied molecular orbital (LUMO), energy gap, hardness, and dipole moment, and other quantum descriptors were analyzed. Density functional theory (DTF) calculation supported the experimental finding, showing that the high efficiency correlates with a low energy gap and high dipole moment, which promote electron transfer and adsorption strength. Theoretical and experimental results showed strong agreement, confirming the potential of G and AG as effective inhibitors for carbon steel.
