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

Corrosion severely affects marine metallic infrastructures. Organic coatings offer a low-cost, effective solution, but their solvent-rich processing reduces sustainability. For polymer nanocomposite coatings, additional chemical modification of fillers is typically required to improve dispersibility. Herein, we report the synthesis of waterborne polymer/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposites via a miniemulsion polymerization as an anticorrosion coating for Q235 steel. Using a vinyl copolymer based on styrene and n-butyl acrylate, we successfully formulated kinetically stable latexes with inherent film-forming ability at room temperature. The thermally annealed polymer/rGO coatings formed a uniform, defect-free layer on the steel surface without rGO agglomeration and delamination. These polymer/rGO coatings, particularly at pH 10 demonstrated electrical conductivity, mechanical robustness, and highly effective anticorrosion performance. Polymer/rGO coating of pH 10 exhibited enhanced corrosion protection after 168 h exposure to 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution ((I
