Eco-friendly and sustainable gemini ionic liquid surfactants derived from coffee waste: design, surface activity, oil spill treatment, and antimicrobial performance.

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
As environmentally safe substitutes for traditional solvents and surfactants, ionic liquids (ILs) have drawn a lot of interest. Among these, IL-based cationic surfactants constitute an important class of multifunctional materials that integrate the unique physicochemical characteristics of ionic liquids with the interfacial activity of surfactants. Due to their dual functionality, they have demonstrated broad applicability as corrosion inhibitors, antimicrobial agents, emulsifiers, and dispersants across the petroleum, pharmaceutical, and environmental sectors. In this case, precursors obtained from natural waste were used to create ionic liquid-based Gemini cationic surfactants (ILGCS) (4a-d). The first of the four primary phases in the synthetic approach was the separation of mixed fatty acids from discarded coffee grounds and culminating in a quaternization reaction to afford the target ILGCS.
