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 heart's electromagnetic field (HEMF) represents the strongest magnetic signal in the human body and has been increasingly associated with processes related to the Heart-Brain Axis (HBA). The present review summarizes its biophysical basis along with current and emerging biosensing technologies. It examines hypotheses regarding interpersonal interactions and interactions with external fields, including geomagnetic activity, and reviews evidence linking the HEMF to autonomic activity and emotional states. It provides an overview of magnetic field-based therapeutics, introduced here as our own term "BioMagnetoTherapies" (BMT), underscoring their common objective of externally inducing, stabilizing or restoring coherence across the HBA. Collectively, it positions cardiac electromagnetic signals as both a measurable marker, key to HBA dynamics and related disorders, as well as a promising target for emerging biosensor- and BioMagneto-Therapeutics.
