The effects and mechanisms of electromagnetic fields on bone remodeling: From clinical to laboratory.
Review in Journal of orthopaedic translation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are physical fields generated by electrically charged objects, and play a vital role in the growth and development of living organisms. Bone is a highly dynamic structure that undergoes a constant remodeling process. From 1962 to 1977, Bassett discovered the piezoelectric effect in bone tissue and found that EMFs accelerated osteogenesis, promoted tibial fracture healing in dogs, and had positive effects in clinical trials. Since then, EMFs have been increasingly studied in bone remodeling disorders as a non-invasive physical therapy. This review summarizes clinical trials and laboratory studies on EMF interventions in bone remodeling disorders over the past few decades, outlining the effects of EMFs on various bone cells and their underlying molecular mechanisms. In addition, we propose issues in current studies and give an outlook on the research and application of EMFs as a non-invasive physical therapy. The translational potential of this article: This article systematically reviews the research ranging from biological and physical mechanisms to medical applications of EMFs on bone remodeling and related diseases, identifies key challenges in future basic research, and proposes new strategies for developing novel medical equipment and advancing clinical applications in this field. These insights contribute to the advancement of non-invasive physical therapies in orthopedics.
