Impact of low-protein diet on cardiovascular risk factors and kidney function in diabetic nephropathy: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized-controlled trials.

Aim: To assess the efficacy of low-protein diets (LPD) on cardiovascular risk factors and kidney function in diabetic nephropathy (DN) based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Methods: A comprehensive systematic search was undertaken in PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, SCOPUS and Embase databases from inception until January 2022 without using time or language restrictions. RCTs which reported the effects of LPD on cardiovascular risk factors and kidney function in DN were considered.

The effect of tamoxifen on the lipid profile in women: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background And Aim: The effect of tamoxifen administration on serum lipids in females remains unclear. The studies which have explored this topic have produced conflicting results, probably due to discrepancies in the length of the intervention, differences in baseline variables or other factors. To answer this research question, we decided to conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effects of tamoxifen on the lipid profile in women.

Effect of saffron supplementation on liver enzymes: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background And Aims: Possible protective effects of saffron (Crocus sativus L) have been reported in several randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Current systematic review was performed to summarize the efficacy of saffron intake on liver enzymes.

Methods: An electronic database search was conducted on PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane for RCTs comparing effect of saffron and placebo on liver enzymes from inception to July 2021.
