Trial report in Orthopadie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07495254 (Effectiveness of Combined Super Inductive System), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectiveTendinopathies are diseases that often entail long-term treatment consisting of analgesics, physiotherapy, orthotics, and sparing. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a single application of a high-energy PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) on pain perception and blood born inflammation parameters.
methods34 patients were randomly assigned to a verum group (10 min PEMF, 0,78 T) or a placebo group (10 min sham condition). Prior to and up to one week after the patient blinded treatment (t1-t5), local pain state was assessed by means of algometry as pain pressure threshold (PPT). Accordingly, heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) levels were analysed. Statistical analyses included 2‑way ANOVA (2 × 5). The clinical trial was registered (DRKS00031321).
resultsAfter randomization and drop-out (verum n = 17, placebo n = 13) baseline-analyses did not reveal significant between-group differences for PPT (p = 0,096), for HSP70 (p = 0,524), or any other sample characteristics (p > 0,05). Pain reduction during one week of observation showed to be significantly higher (p = 0,045, η
conclusionsA single bout of high energy PEMF led to an immediate pain relief in tendinopathy patients lasting at least for one week, but the hypothesized underlying HSP70 associated inflammatory pathway could not be confirmed.
