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

This study investigates the microbiologically influenced corrosion of low-carbon steels with varying Cu content (≤ 0.4, 2.31, 6.01 wt%) under Bacillus cereus using weight loss, electrochemical tests, and surface analyses. Both high Cu and B. cereus promote α-FeOOH and Cu-rich layers, reducing corrosion. Quantitatively, after 28 days, the corrosion rate of 0.4 wt% Cu steel decreases by ~ 38% in the presence of B. cereus versus sterile conditions, while 6.01 wt% Cu steel exhibits a ~ 62% lower rate than 0.4 wt% Cu steel under biotic conditions. Electrochemical data corroborate this, with polarization resistance of 6.01 wt% Cu steel peaking at 1072 Ω·cm² at 21 days. This synergistic inhibition offers a strategy for designing advanced corrosion- and fouling-resistant steels.
