Forest plot showing pooled WMD with 95 % CI for triglycerides (mg/dl) for five randomized controlled LGI/LGL diets. For each LGI/LGL study, the shaded square represents the point estimate of the intervention effect. The horizontal line joins the lower and upper limits of the 95 % CI of these effects. The area of the shaded square reflects the relative weight of the study in the respective meta-analysis. The diamond at the bottom of the graph represents the pooled WMD with the 95 % CI for the six study groups. HGI = high glycaemic index; HGL = high glycaemic load; LGI = low glycaemic index; LGL = low glycaemic load; WMD = weighted mean difference
