Comparative effects of different types of soy products on glycemic control and insulin sensitivity: a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Accumulating evidence has demonstrated the benefits of soy and its extracts on glycemic control and insulin sensitivity. We hypothesized that different soy components might exhibit differentiated blood glucose and insulin sensitivity regulation effects. The goal of this network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) was to estimate and rank the relative effects of soy and its extracts on glycemic control and insulin sensitivity.

Methods

We performed a strategic literature search of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for relevant RCTs. Random-effects network meta-analyses, ranking analyses based on surface under the cumulative ranking curves (SUCRAs), and sensitivity analyses based on potential sources of heterogeneity were performed.
