Mapping the Landscape of Magnetic Field Effects on Neural Regeneration and Repair: A Combined Systematic Review, Mathematical Model, and Meta-Analysis

Figure 3

Rigor and reproducibility in studies aimed at understanding magnetic field impacts on neural repair is increasing across time. (a) ARRIVE score based on individual category, with 2 being sufficiently addressed and 0 being insufficiently addressed. 1 = study design; 2 = sample size; 3 = inclusion and exclusion criteria; 4 = randomization; 5 = blinding; 6 = outcome measures; 7 = statistical methods; 8 = experimental animals; 9 = experimental procedures; 10 = results; 11 = abstract; 12 = background; 13 = objectives; 17 = interpretation/scientific implications; 18 = generalizability/translation; 19 = protocol registration; 20 = data access; 21 = declaration of interests. Values are reported as mean ± standard deviation. Guidelines 14–16 were not used due to excluding in vivo studies. (b) Relationship between total ARRIVE score and publication year. Each dot represents an included manuscript.
