Impact of jujube fruit on serum lipid profile, glycemic index, and liver function: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Jujube is a widely consumed fruit with a long history in traditional medicine. Numerous studies have explored its potential effects on various health parameters. However, the overall quality of this evidence and the specific impact of jujube on metabolic syndrome remain unclear. This meta-analysis investigates the effect of jujube on body mass index, serum lipid profile, blood sugar levels, and other metabolic factors and blood indicators. The databases Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and SID were searched up to September 2023. Our review included various clinical studies written in English and Persian that focused on the effect of jujube on lipid profiles. In vivo, in vitro, review studies, book chapters, observational studies, and low-quality studies based on critical appraisal tools were excluded from the analysis. A total of seven studies involving 483 participants were included in this review. Jujube significantly reduced BMI and TG, and also markedly decreased FBS in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, the results varied significantly based on subgroups defined by dosage, treatment duration, and disease type. Notably, LDL and total cholesterol levels showed a significant decrease within some of these subgroups. However, HDL, AST, and ALT did not have significant changes. The findings suggest that jujube may exert beneficial effects on metabolic diseases, particularly in patients with hyperlipidemia and type 2 diabetes. However, the overall quality of the evidence is limited, and further research is needed to confirm these findings and elucidate the mechanisms underlying jujube's effects. Impact of jujube fruit on serum lipid profile, glycemic index, and liver function: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
