1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

backgroundThe use of electromagnetic energy as an alternative to surgical procedures for subcutaneous fat reduction has gained popularity in recent years. In this pilot study, the effects of using amplified radio-frequency energy in the medium wave delivery range, in conjunction with exercise intervention, were investigated for their potential reduction of abdominal subcutaneous and visceral fat.

objectivesThe study aimed to evaluate the effects of combined intervention on the volume of abdominal fat, analyzing changes in lipid profile, metabolic factors, and inflammatory markers.

methodsThirty-four participants were selected and assigned to a 10-day intervention utilizing a Capenergy device every weekday except Saturday and Sunday. This involved the application of amplified energy through a belt covering the abdominal area of 800 cm

resultsA statistically significant decrease was noted in both subcutaneous and visceral fat in the abdominal area, as well as a decrease in weight, waist-to-hip, and all biochemical values, without side effects, just a slight redness. These effects on abdominal fat were maintained at the 6-month follow-up with no reports of regaining fat.

conclusionThe utilization of amplified radiofrequency with an abdominal belt with static electrodes and temperature sensors, together with exercise intervention, has significant potential for reducing abdominal subcutaneous and visceral fat, while also improving associated factors safely and effectively, even after a follow-up period.
