This paper examines eight published reviews each reporting results from several related trials in order to evaluate the efficacy of a certain treatment for a specified medical condition and suggests a simple noniterative procedure for characterizing the distribution of treatment effects in a series of studies.

778 Citations1999Simin Liu, Meir J. Stampfer +6 more
Increased intake of whole grains may protect against CHD, and the lower risk associated with higher whole-grain intake was not fully explained by its contribution to intakes of dietary fiber, folate, vitamin B-6, and vitamin E.
JAMADietary Fiber, Weight Gain, and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Young Adults
723 Citations1999David S. Ludwig
Fiber consumption predicted insulin levels, weight gain, and other CVD risk factors more strongly than did total or saturated fat consumption, and high-fiber diets may protect against obesity and CVD by lowering insulin levels.

It is shown that both the native cell wall fibre of oat bran and isolated oat gum, when incorporated into a meal, act similarly by lowering postprandial plasma glucose and insulin levels, and a diet rich in beta-glucan may therefore be of benefit in the regulation of postpr andials plasma glucose levels in subjects with Type 2 diabetes.
