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

Renewable and sustainable materials to replace petroleum-based lubricants are increasingly sought in tribology and energy applications. In this study, Marinobacter atlanticus cultures were harvested and cells extracted for intracellular lipids for subsequent combined chemical and tribological evaluation. Mass spectrometry revealed that the extract was dominated by the wax ester palmityl palmitoleate, confirming a high-molecular-weight ester profile favorable for boundary lubrication. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis indicated a glass transition at 0°C, a melting endotherm at 40°C, and an onset of thermal degradation near 220°C, providing a workable thermal window for moderate-temperature applications. Pin-on-disk tribometry of the neat extract yielded an average friction coefficient of
