In vitro Evaluation of the Combined Effects of a Static Magnetic Field and Curcumin on MCF7 and HeLa Cell Lines.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 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
objectiveThis study examined how varying levels of curcumin and static magnetic fields (SMF) affected three cell types, with outcomes influenced by field strength and curcumin concentration in normal and cancerous cells.
methodsThe effects of static magnetic fields on cell proliferation and death rates were evaluated using the MTT assay and flow cytometry. The efficacy of the magnetic field, with or without curcumin (10-40 µg/ml), was assessed. Cells were treated with curcumin at the optimal concentration from the MTT assay and simultaneously exposed to a static magnetic field (7, 10, or 25 mT) for 48 hours.
resultOur study demonstrated that SMF (7 mT) exposure significantly increased the proportion of HeLa and MCF-7 cells in the early apoptotic phase. Curcumin application markedly elevated necrosis rates in both cell lines. Additionally, curcumin (5 µg/ml) significantly affected apoptosis rates in HeLa and MCF-7 cells (p < 0.05).
conclusionThis study demonstrated that SMF exposure significantly increased necrotic cell death in HeLa cells and accelerated apoptosis in both cancer cell types. The minimum effective dose of curcumin combined with SMF caused a four-fold increase in apoptosis in HeLa cells compared to curcumin alone.
