Non-invasive cooling wear as an effective means of reducing subcutaneous adipose tissue mass: an
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveThe increasing prevalence of obesity is a major health problem worldwide. Several non-surgical treatments are now available that reduce body and subcutaneous fat mass. We aimed to determine the efficacy of mild cold for body mass reduction.
methodsNovel cooling wear, which induces mild cooling
resultsThe participants achieved a significant total weight loss of 0.7 kg (0.9%), and significant reductions in BMI (0.2 kg/m
conclusionThere is a high and growing demand for non-invasive treatment strategies for obesity. Cooling wear represents a novel and promising approach that may be of particular use for individuals who do not require bariatric surgery.
