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

Waterlogged archaeological wood is highly vulnerable to degradation by wood-degrading microorganisms. Oregano essential oil (OEO) shows excellent antimicrobial activity against such microbes, but its high volatility and poor stability restrict direct application in cultural relic protection. This study aims to optimize the preparation of sodium alginate (SA)-based OEO microcapsules (OEO@SAM), characterize their structural and physicochemical properties, and evaluate their sustained-release antimicrobial performance for waterlogged archaeological wood conservation. OEO@SAM was fabricated via ionic crosslinking, with orthogonal experiments optimizing three key parameters: OEO:SA ratio, SA concentration, and CaCl
