01 · The sentence it was drawn from

“The outcomes of the analysis on all studies showed that Huangqi injection could significantly decrease TC levels [SMD = − 1.13, 95% CI = (− 2.09, − 0.16), P = 0.02], and marginally significantly decrease TG levels [SMD = − 1.27, 95% CI = (− 2.53, 0.00), P = 0.05].”
