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

Chitosan, a biopolymer material, has shown great promise as a biodegradable corrosion inhibitor. Herein, this research details the synthesis of new chitosan sulfonamide conjugates by coupling chitosan with 1,4-phthalazinedione sulfonyl chloride (DEPS) at various molar ratios to create enhanced, eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors (CHDEPS1-3). The modifications increased the biopolymer's crystallinity, peaking at 79.80% for CHDEPS3 compared to 64% for native chitosan. The protective performance of the inhibitors on carbon steel in an acidic medium was assessed using electrochemical tests, weight loss measurements, and surface characterization. The findings were highly positive, especially with CHDEPS3 demonstrating a superior inhibition efficiency of 95.38% at a concentration of 400 ppm. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) confirmed the formation of a protective adsorbed layer, which reduced the steel's average surface roughness from 852.05 nm to just 36.78 nm. Theoretical analysis, including quantum chemical calculations, molecular dynamics, and Monte Carlo simulations, elucidated the adsorption mechanism. The potentiodynamic polarization data and significantly negative Gibbs free energy values (Δ
