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
In this study, the adsorption behavior and corrosion inhibition performance of 5-mercapto-1-methyltetrazole (MMT) on mild steel (MS) were comprehensively evaluated in 1 M HCl solution by electrochemical, surface-characterization and quantum-chemical methods. In order to clearly demonstrate its novelty and suitability for practical applications compared to conventional short-term assessments, the electrochemical durability and long-term protective ability of the inhibitor film were examined. It was shown that the inhibition efficiency depends on MMT concentration and remains exceptionally high, reaching approximately 97.3% (LPR) and 95.8% (PDP) even after 120 h of continuous immersion. MMT acts as a mixed-type corrosion inhibitor with a predominant cathodic inhibition effect at low concentrations. The corrosion reaction is charge-transfer-controlled, and the MMT molecules form a barrier by adsorbing at the metal/solution interface. Thermodynamic calculations yield an adsorption free energy (Δ
