Brief Weekly Magnetic Field Exposure Enhances Avian Oxidative Muscle Character During Embryonic Development.

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
Maternal metabolic dysfunction adversely influences embryonic muscle oxidative capacity and mitochondrial biogenesis, increasing the child's long-term risks of developing obesity and metabolic syndrome in later life. This pilot study explored the mechanistic basis of embryonic muscle metabolic programming, employing non-invasive magnetic field exposures. Brief (10 min) exposure to low-energy (1.5 milliTesla at 50 Hertz) pulsing electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) has been shown in mammals to promote oxidative muscle development, associated with enhanced muscular mitochondriogenesis, augmented lipid metabolism, and attenuated inflammatory status. In this study, quail eggs were used as a model system to investigate the potential of analogous PEMF therapy to modulate embryonic muscle oxidative capacity independently of maternal influence. Quail eggs were administered five 10-min PEMF exposures to either upward-directed or downward-directed magnetic fields over 13 days. Embryos receiving magnetic treatment exhibited increased embryo weight, size, and survival compared to non-exposed controls. Upward exposure was associated with larger embryos, redder breast musculature, and upregulated levels of
