Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field Emissions and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Infants: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Cureus, 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
Purpose It has been argued that children are particularly at risk of developing health effects due to the emitted radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF). We designed this cohort to measure the association between exposure to RF-EMF radiation and neurodevelopmental changes in neonates and infants. Methods We present an analysis of 261 observations from a cohort of 105 neonates. The cohort was formed of pregnant women, and the neonates born to these women were followed for a period of one year. We assessed the level of radiation in the house using the Selective Radiation Meter 3006 (Narda Worldwide, Germany) and neurodevelopment using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire® (ASQ®)-3. We used random effects models for multiple observations in the same individual, and the main explanatory variable was household radiation levels (divided into tertiles as low/medium/high). Results The median (interquartile range (IQR)) range of radiation in all the households was 8.66 (IQR: 1.58, 23.11) mW/m
