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
Introduction: Biofouling is a serious problem in various industrial sectors such as shipping infrastructure, cooling water systems, and aquaculture. Biofilm formation by different types of microorganisms plays a very crucial role in this biofouling process. Biofouling on metallic surfaces accelerates aggressive corrosion processes. Therefore, it is essential to develop antifouling coatings with corrosion resistance for effective protection. Methods: In the present study, copper sorbate (CS) and copper oxide (CuO) were synthesized as antifouling pigments and characterized using a UV-vis spectrometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and field emission scanning electron microscopy. Both pigments in different ratios were used for the formulation of antifouling and anti-corrosion paints. Salt spray test and anti-corrosion test were performed in the presence of 3.5% NaCl solution for 30 days. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization were recorded for all the tested specimens. Results and Discussion: The results indicate that CS-rich coatings (15%20% of CS) display higher corrosion resistance than CuO-rich coatings. The antifouling potential of the coated mild steel was evaluated by immersing them in the marine estuarine water, and surface changes were monitored at regular intervals. All coatings exhibited considerable antifouling effects up to 60 days of immersion. Notably, the CS-II coating, containing only 5% CuO with 15% of CS, showed significant fouling resistance up to 90 days. At the end of 120 days, SEM analysis confirmed that a huge number of marine microorganisms (mostly diatoms) settled on CS-I, CS-III, CS-IV, and CS-V, but minimal microorganisms were only noticed on CS-II. This could be due to the antimicrobial activity and controlled leaching behavior of both pigments in marine conditions.
