Evidence strength: moderate.FindingNull result“Barberry supplementation showed a significant effect on FBS (WMD = − 16.69 mg/dL; 95% CI: − 30.46 to − 2.93; p = 0.017; I2 = 96.6%; p < 0.001), HOMA-IR (WMD = − 0.95; 95% CI: − 1.79 to − 0.12; p = 0.025; I2 = 89.1%; p < 0.001), insulin (WMD = − 1.70 mU/L; 95% CI: − 2.33 to − 1.08; p < 0.001; I2 = 8.6%; p = 0.350), but not effect on HbA1c (WMD = − 0.72%; 95% CI: − 1.85 to 0.40; p = 0.209; I2 = 92.7%; p < 0.001).”
