Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Cryolipolysis in Reducing Local Adipose Tissue in Women-A Randomized Pilot Study.
Trial report in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 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
introductionCryolipolysis was developed in 2007 as a method of reducing excessive adipose tissue using low temperatures. During the procedure, lipid crystallization occurs at temperatures much higher than the freezing point of water in the tissues. This is followed by the recruitment of macrophages, the number of which peaks at 4 weeks and disappears at about 3 months after treatment. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study involved 15 women who were divided into a control group and a study group. All subjects completed the QEB questionnaire, had body circumference measurements taken, and had a body composition analysis performed before the start of therapy and 1 month after the end of therapy. The study group underwent three cryolipolysis treatments to the abdominal area, with a treatment duration of 45 min and a temperature of -8°C. Approval from the bioethics committee was obtained prior to the study.
resultsComparing the results of the control group and the study group after 3 months of the study, differences in mean values of body fat, abdominal circumference, and BMI values are evident, while statistical analysis showed a significant difference in changes in BMI values (p < 0.05), while changes in body fat were on the borderline of statistical significance (p = 0.05).
conclusionThe study confirms that cryolipolysis is a safe method of reducing locally accumulated fat, especially in the abdominal area in women.
