α-tocopherol/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.

  • α-tocopherol — no detected effect on glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)

    Evidence strength: moderate.FindingNull result
    “There was no significant reduction in the percentage of HbA1c (−0.24, 95% CI: −0.49 to 0.02]; P = 0.07, Figure 2), with significant evidence of interstudy heterogeneity (I2 = 67%; P = 0.0005) in subjects with vitamin E supplements, so we reported the results from random-effects models.”
