Effect of High-voltage Electrical Field Exposure on Neurobiological Factors and Visual Working Memory of Macaques.
Article in Basic and clinical neuroscience, 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
Introduction: High-voltage (HV) power transmission lines running near cities and villages can cause severe damage (mental and physical) due to the magnetic and electric fields they produce. This study aimed to investigate the effects of HV electric fields on the spiking neural network (SNN) model of the brain and biological and behavioral models of visual working memory. Methods: To achieve this goal, macaques were studied for their cognitive functions, expression of the NMDA receptor gene, MRI-assisted analysis of brain anatomy, and variations in blood sodium and potassium concentrations. The experimental group of macaques was exposed to a 3 kV/m HV field for 4 hours a day for 1 month. Computational models were then evaluated using experimental parameters. Results: According to the results, exposure to HV electric fields reduced the expression of the NMDA receptor gene, as well as a decrease in the levels of sodium and potassium ions in the blood plasma. Additionally, MRI-assisted analysis showed reduced hippocampus and amygdala size after exposure to the electric field. Conclusion: The results of cognitive, genetic, blood, and MRI tests, along with the SNN model, elucidate the mechanism of the visual working memory deterioration in macaques due to HV electric field exposure.
