Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The article presents the impact of ecological additives on selected parameters and the microbiological distribution of marine engine oil (Marinol). With the development of industry and the automotive sector in general, it has become apparent that the problem of microbial contamination is still relevant and is becoming increasingly widespread. The author decided to investigate the impact of additives, namely silver and effective microorganisms with a 2% percentage share in marine engine oil (Marinol), on selected parameters and on slowing down the growth of bacteria and fungi. The article presents the impact of additives on selected engine oil parameters, including flash point, water content, acid and base numbers, density and kinematic viscosity. In addition, the oil was also tested for the effect of additives on the inhibition of microbial decomposition in the tested oil. It was found that the best additive with a positive effect on engine oil parameters and microbial decomposition was a silver solution and effective microorganisms in the form of ceramics. The addition of effective microorganisms in liquid form and silver solution to used oil resulted in an increase in temperature of approximately 1 °C compared to the ignition temperature of oil without additives. For the addition of colloidal nanosilver, a temperature of 225.22 °C was obtained. For used oil, the water content increased to 0.16% from 0.1% for new oil. The addition of liquid effective microorganisms caused the largest increase in water content to 0.58%, while EM in the form of ceramics did not contribute to the increase in water content due to its composition. The addition of silver solution contributed to an increase in water content to 0.47% and colloidal silver to 0.53%. The base number of used motor oil without additives decreased from 11.82 mgKOH/g for fresh oil to 11.52 mgKOH/g. After the application of ceramic effective microorganisms, a lower base number was obtained compared to oil without additives, which is 11.34 mgKOH/g, while liquid effective microorganisms reduced the base number the most, to 11.27 mgKOH/g. Each of the additives caused a decrease in bacteria and fungi compared to used oil without additives. The use of these additives is an original solution that has a positive effect on the microbial degradation process, while maintaining the original performance parameters of the engine oil. In the next stage, it would be desirable to confirm the results obtained under actual operating conditions.
