The Therapeutic Potential of Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) and Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) in Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) present significant clinical challenges, often leading to severe motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunction, with profound impacts on patient quality of life and considerable healthcare costs. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the therapeutic potential of Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) and Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) as non-invasive modalities for promoting peripheral nerve regeneration. We explore their cellular and molecular mechanisms of action, discuss optimal treatment parameters, and present evidence from preclinical and clinical studies, including their synergistic effects with other therapies and emerging applications beyond neurological repair. Clinical studies have shown that PEMF therapy can significantly reduce neuropathic pain and improve functions, whereas LIPUS demonstrates the ability to enhance nerve conduction.
