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

This study investigates the corrosion inhibition efficiency of [2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole] and its Zn and Cu complexes for mild steel in 1.0 M HCl. The ligand was selected for its non-toxic profile and high electron density, favoring strong adsorption onto the metal surface. Electrochemical methods, including EIS, PDP, LPR, and CASP, were employed to evaluate the inhibitors' performance. The results showed a significant decrease in corrosion current density and increased polarization resistance, with the Zn complex achieving the highest inhibition efficiency (93.8%). EIS fitting confirmed the formation of a protective film with high charge transfer and film resistance. Surface analyses by SEM and EDS revealed smoother steel morphology and inhibitor adsorption. XPS confirmed the presence of Fe
