01 · The sentence it was drawn from

“After analysis of the aggregated results, we found that aloe vera was superior to placebo in reducing serum triglyceride and TC levels (p = 0.0001; WMD: −43.92 mg/dL; 95% CI: −66.33 to −21.51 mg/dL and p < 0.00001; WMD: −16.94 mg/dL; 95% CI: −23.39 to −10.50 mg/dL, respectively), although heterogeneity existed among these studies (p < 0.00001, I2 = 100% and p < 0.00001, I2 = 91%, respectively).”
