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

The efficacy of expired dapagliflozin (DAP) as a sustainable and cost-effective corrosion inhibitor for copper (Cu) in 1.0 M HNO₃ was investigated using a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches. Chemical and electrochemical methods were applied to assess the anticorrosion efficacy over a range of concentrations and temperatures. The results demonstrated that the anticorrosion efficiency of expired DAP is significant and increases with increasing inhibitor concentration but decreases as the temperature rises. This indicates that the inhibition process is primarily governed by the physical adsorption of expired DAP molecules onto the Cu surface. However, the observed change in βₐ suggests that the adsorption is not purely physical in nature but rather involves a mixed physical and chemical adsorption mechanism. Potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) results indicate that expired DAP functions as a mixed-type inhibitor, effectively suppressing both anodic metal dissolution and cathodic reduction reactions. Moreover, a pronounced positive shift in the pitting potential (Eₚ
