Recent Studies on the Effects of Static Magnetic Fields (SMF) on Reproductive Function.
Review in Current issues in molecular biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundWith the widespread use of static magnetic fields (SMFs) in applications such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electric vehicles, concerns have arisen regarding their potential effects on reproductive health. Despite increasing research, the impact of SMFs on reproductive function remains a subject of debate, requiring further exploration.
methodsThis review synthesizes animal and clinical studies on the effects of SMF on reproductive function. It examines various SMF intensities and exposure durations, focusing on mitochondrial function, chromosomal division, and embryonic development.
resultsThe review reveals that low-intensity SMF exposure adversely affects mitochondrial function in sperm and eggs, reducing their activity. It also impacts follicular cells, delaying chromosomal division. Medium- and high-intensity SMF exposure shows mixed results, with both potential benefits and risks, requiring further research. High-intensity SMFs may pose teratogenic risks to embryos and delay the development of fertilized eggs. The position of SMF exposure also matters, likely due to field non-uniformity.
conclusionsThis review provides a foundation for further investigation into the effects of SMFs on reproductive function, highlighting the need for more comprehensive studies to assess safety and applications. Special caution is advised for pregnant women regarding SMF exposure, given its potential risks.
