“L-carnitine supplementation decreased DBP (-1.162 mmHg, 95% CI: -2.020, -0.303, p = 0.008) without changing SBP levels (-0.085 mmHg, 95% CI: -1.455, 1.285, p = 0.903).”

What did not

No detected effect on systolic blood pressure
very limited
Same sentence as the finding on diastolic blood pressure
