01 · The sentence it was drawn from

“Pooling data from 4 clinical trials, the model indicated that ginger significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (MD = −1.62 mmHg, 95% CI (−3.01, −0.24), I2 = 6.09%, τ2 = 0.44, and Cochran’s Q: 3.29), but not diastolic blood pressure (MD = −2.41 mmHg, 95% CI (−5.45, 0.64), I2 = 76.40%, τ2 = 6.07, and Cochran’s Q: 12.71).”
