Zn(2+)/Finding
One finding, on its own
A single claim from the graph, with the evidence strength computed from its study, the sentence it was drawn from, and the paper. This address does not change.
Increases LDL cholesterol
LimitedEvidence strength: limited. Human evidence with several recorded weaknesses, or a design that tops out at limited.Finding“Seven studies demonstrated a significant increase in LDL cholesterol with zinc supplementation (MD = 3.46; 95% CI 1.48 to 5.43; p = 0.0006), with very low heterogeneity (I 2 = 3%).”
