Analgesic Effect of Vibratory Devices Associated with Carboxytherapy for Cellulite: Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 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
introductionVibrational stimulation analgesia has been shown to be effective during injectable procedures in dermatology, but its analgesic effect associated with carboxytherapy has not yet been studied.
objectiveTo investigate the analgesic effect of two vibratory devices during carboxytherapy in women with gluteal cellulite.
methodsSeventy-eight women, aged 18 to 49 years, with moderate and/or severe gluteal cellulite, were randomly assigned to three groups: Vibratory Device Group 1-VDG1 (Carboxytherapy and vibratory device Vibrata
resultsThere was no significant difference in pain intensity among the groups: VDG1 (4.95 ± 2.35); VDG2 (4.90 ± 2.22); and control (4.97 ± 2.43) (p =.997).
conclusionVibratory devices did not decrease pain intensity during carboxytherapy in women with gluteal cellulite. Despite this, the study addresses an important gap and lays the foundation for future clinical trials on pain management in aesthetic body procedures.
