The effect of battery charge levels of Mobile phone on the amount of Electromagnetic waves emission.

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
purposeOver the past decades, mobile phone usage have increased dramatically. Extensive development and use of mobile telecommunication services has increased exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic waves (RF-EMW) in the daily lives of humans, and concerns about the harmful effects of mobile phones have also increased on human health. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of battery charge levels of the mobile phone on electromagnetic waves emission.
methodsThe mobile phone used in the current study was HTC One E9+ (0.181 W/kg SAR) with a non-removable battery model Li-Po 2800 mAh. The power density was measured with the mobile phone set to operate at the 2G mode by a SMP2 Portable Electromagnetic Field Monitoring System. Power density was measured in Calling mode (50 sec), Called mode (40 sec) and Talking mode (360 sec) at the battery charge levels of 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 100%.
resultsIn Calling mode, the maximum electromagnetic waves were determined when the mobile phone had 1% battery charge and also while it was being charged. Contrary to Calling mode, there is no statistically significant difference between the power density emitted in Called mode and Talking mode at the various battery charge levels. Power density was found to be highest in the Called mode (29.11 μw/cm
conclusionsThe data of the present study can be used to monitor the daily exposure of mobile phone users as well as to estimate exposure levels in the laboratory and non-laboratory studies. As long as a mobile phone that is in the standby mode remains within the geographic domain of the operator's service zone, the power density emitted from that phone will be virtually zero, and any background wave can be attributed to other sources.
