Sawtooth Magnetic Fields: An Innovative Approach to Magnetic Stimulation in Biomedical Sciences.
Article in Bioelectricity, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
The utilization of extremely low-frequency magnetic fields has been widely explored across various scientific domains. According to Faraday's law, time-varying magnetic fields induce corresponding electric fields, affecting ions and dipoles. However, the symmetrical patterns of sinusoidal and square magnetic fields often limit their effectiveness. This study proposes the use of sawtooth magnetic fields (STMFs) for their ability to generate asymmetrical electric fields. STMFs create strong electric fields in one direction over a short duration and weaker fields in the opposite direction over a longer period, potentially improving effectiveness. Supporting evidence includes studies on transcranial magnetic stimulation, showing the superior impact of monophasic pulses compared with biphasic ones. Furthermore, research on pulsed and switching magnetic fields has demonstrated significant impacts on brain signals, cognitive function, drug delivery, and oncology applications. If validated, STMFs could advance therapeutic interventions and biomedical research.
