A comprehensive investigation of expired dextromethorphan HBr drug as a carbon steel corrosion inhibitor using gravimetric, electrochemical, and theoretical computational approaches.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This study investigates the potential of expired Dextromethorphan HBr (EDM-HBr) as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. Utilizing a combination of gravimetric, electrochemical, and theoretical computational methods, the research reveals that EDM-HBr demonstrates significant corrosion inhibition, with maximum inhibition efficiencies reaching 95.3% at a concentration of 600 mg l
