Figure 2

Effect direction plot for blood lipids, presented by study design. Effect direction: Upward arrow Inline graphic=positive health impact, downward arrow Inline graphic=negative health impact, sideways arrow Inline graphic=no change/mixed effects/conflicting findings. Final sample size (individuals) in intervention group: large arrow Inline graphic indicates >300; medium arrow Inline graphic indicates 50–300; small arrow Inline graphic indicates <50. Study quality, denoted by row color: green = low risk of bias; amber = some concerns; red = high risk of bias. The numbers in superscript in column 1 denote the reference numbers, and the numbers in superscript in column 3 denote the number of outcomes that contributed to the effect direction (if >1).
