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
Water electrolysis is an effective method for producing hydrogen, which is a valuable alternative to fossil fuels. However, the presence of chloride ions can cause significant structural degradation, and electrolysis systems compatible with seawater must be developed. In this study, phosphate was added to an electrolyte simulating seawater electrolysis, and the effects on the corrosion resistance of ferritic (Type 430) and austenitic (Type 304 and 316) stainless steels were investigated using electrochemical techniques. The phosphate-induced changes in the passive films on the steels were examined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The phosphate in the electrolyte enhanced the pitting corrosion resistance of all the stainless steels. However, excessive phosphate concentrations promoted the partial dissolution of the passive film, particularly for the 430 steel. XPS analysis showed that phosphorus was incorporated into the passive film as phosphate for every type of steel in this study, which likely enhanced the pitting corrosion resistance. Cyclic polarization measurements of the 430 steel indicated that the pH-buffering action of the phosphate in the electrolyte suppressed pitting propagation. These findings provide fundamental insights into the role of phosphate additives in stabilizing stainless steels, which may contribute to the improved safety of seawater electrolysis systems.
