The consequences of the extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure on physiological processes in the uterus: novel insights and implications.
Review in Frontiers in physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF), ranging from 1 Hz to 300 Hz, is prevalent in modern environments, yet its biological effects on the production remain insufficiently explored. This mini-review summarizes recent findings on ELF-EMF-induced alterations in the biological processes involved the uterus. It has been documented that the exposure to the ELF-EMF has been linked to significant changes in alterations of transcriptomic profile, histone modifications, DNA methylation, and microRNA pathways in the uterus, which may disrupt uterine contractility, secretory activity and hormonal signalling. Furthermore, the ELF-EMF influences myometrial and endometrial steroidogenesis, interferes with calcium ion channel regulation, elevates oxidative stress, apoptosis and cell proliferation, raising concerns about uterine tissues integrity. While direct evidence of ELF-EMF-induced tumorigenesis in the myometrium and the endometrium is lacking, its potential role in disrupting the mRNA transcript abundance involved in oxidative stress, apoptosis and cell proliferation underscores the need for further investigation. This review highlights the potential reproductive risks associated with the ELF-EMF exposure and calls for additional
