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.

Abstract
The corrosion inhibition performance of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (5ATT) toward ductile iron in 1.0 M HCl solution was systematically investigated using complementary experimental and theoretical approaches, including weight loss measurements, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and surface characterization (SEM/EDX), supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The results show that the inhibition efficiency increases markedly with inhibitor concentration, reaching ~ 81%, which indicates effective adsorption of 5ATT molecules on the ductile iron surface. Electrochemical measurements revealed a marked decrease in corrosion current density and a significant increase in charge transfer resistance, confirming the formation of a protective adsorbed film, which was further supported by surface analysis. Importantly, the present study provides a clear correlation between the molecular electronic properties and adsorption behavior of 5-ATT and its experimentally observed inhibition performance. Adsorption studies indicated strong interaction between the inhibitor molecules and the metal surface, while thermodynamic parameters suggested a mixed physisorption-chemisorption mechanism. Furthermore, theoretical calculations supported the experimental findings, demonstrating that both the electronic structure and adsorption configuration of 5-ATT play a key role in its corrosion inhibition efficiency. Therefore, 5-ATT exhibits high inhibition performance and strong adsorption capability, highlighting its potential as an effective corrosion inhibitor for ductile iron in acidic environments.
