Mitochondria as key targets underlying hypomagnetic field-induced biological effects.
Review in iScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
With the rapid development of human deep space exploration, prolonged exposure to hypomagnetic fields (HMF, <5 μT) - an environmental parameter with significantly reduced intensity compared to Earth's geomagnetic field (GMF) - poses unprecedented health challenges. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that HMF exposure induces negative effects on various system functions in animals, including the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system, and the musculoskeletal systems and so forth. In this review, we systematically summarize the multi-level impacts of HMF on mitochondrial quality control and function, proposing mitochondria as direct and sensitive targets of HMF, with iron-sulfur clusters potentially playing a pivotal role. We also explore possible HMF-regulated signaling pathways. In conclusion, this review provides a valuable foundation for understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of HMF's potential risks to astronauts and for developing future coping strategies during spaceflight.
