Reusing expired streptomycin and neomycin drugs as potential corrosion inhibitors for high brass alloys in NaCl solution: quantum, chemical, surface and electrochemical investigations.

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
Although drugs are essential for humans, they are perilous for the ecosystem when disposed of improperly. There are challenges in reusing them for other useful purposes, most notably as corrosion inhibitors; corrosion inhibition is an important industrial and economic aspect of protecting metals and the environment. Copper alloys are widely used in outdoor applications, especially in casting decorative items, but they have shortcomings in corrosion resistance. Herein, the ability of two expired drugs, streptomycin (I) and neomycin (II), to resist the corrosion of a high Cu-Zn alloy in a 3.5% NaCl environment was studied in detail
