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 corrosion inhibition performance of three ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (Inh A), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (Inh B), and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (Inh C), on carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl. The investigation employed weight loss measurements and electrochemical techniques to evaluate corrosion rates and inhibition efficiency. 1H-NMR and elemental analysis confirmed the chemical structures of the ionic liquids. Surface studies, including energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), verified the adsorption of these inhibitors on the C-steel surface. Results demonstrated that all ionic liquids effectively reduced corrosion rates, with Inh A achieving the highest inhibition efficiency of 96.79% at 60 °C. Elevated temperatures increased the protective capabilities of the ionic liquids. This comprehensive approach establishes the efficacy of these ionic liquids as effective corrosion inhibitors in acidic environments and provides insights into their structural characteristics and adsorption mechanisms.
