This is really poorly controlled study. The fact that they used Green Tea as the source of added polyphenols negates any sort of attribution to the effect being just the polyphenols.
Green Tea also has caffeine and catchetins which work on adrenergic receptors to signal increased blood flow to the abdomen.

Reply to "Green Mediterranean diet” high in polyphenols and fiber can reduce that visceral fat. After 18 months, those subjected to the diet saw a visceral fat reduction of 14 percent; eaters of the Mediterranean Diet saw a 7 percent drop. Visceral fat among “healthy eaters” was reduced by 4.5 percent by Wagamaga

This is either incompetence or agenda based.
