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

The biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on the central nervous system (CNS) have been widely reported in the literature. Their nature and extent are thought to depend on parameters such as field intensity and frequency. Of these, extremely low-frequency (50 Hz) fields have been reported to influence neuronal firing in CNS regions, including the hippocampus. We applied the loose patch clamp technique to study the effects of 1 mT exposures of such fields over the course of 60 min on cornus ammonis 1 (CA1) pyramidal neuron membranes in coronal hippocampal slices. Such exposure decreased both inward and transient outward currents. Pharmacological blockers of ryanodine receptor (RyR)-dependent Ca
