Recycling of expired Ceporex drug (CPX) as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in a hydrochloric acid medium.
Article in RSC advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The management of hazardous waste is one of society's current problems. Expired pharmaceuticals fall into this category; they are a type of waste that is not recycled and is typically disposed of by incineration Interestingly, these drug compounds have been demonstrated to possess corrosion-inhibiting properties for various metals and corrosive solutions. This study specifically investigates the corrosion tendency of carbon steel (CS) in 1 M HCl upon application of unused Ceporex drug medication as a potential corrosion inhibitor. The inhibition efficiency of CPX was measured using three techniques: weight loss (WL), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) tests. The inhibition efficiency (% IE) steadily improved as the drug concentration increased from 5 × 10
