01 · The sentence it was drawn from
“The results unraveled that compared to placebo in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, phytosomal curcumin resulted in significantly reduced BMI (MD = −0.72; 95% CI = −1.11 to −0.33; P =.0003) with significant heterogeneity among the studies (I2 = 69%, heterogeneity P =.006, Fig. 3) and body fat percent (MD = −2.04; 95% CI = −3.10 to −0.98; P =.0002) with low heterogeneity among the studies (I2 = 36%, heterogeneity P =.21, Fig. 4).”
