Other related information

The research process involves a team of three experienced individuals, A, B, and C, who independently conduct searches using academic article databases and clinical trial registries, as well as the Foods with Functional Claims Notification Database. In cases where their findings do not align, discussions are held, and if necessary, a fourth member, D, will make the final decision on the acceptance or rejection of results.

The selection of studies and data extraction is similarly conducted independently by A, B, and C, with a structured approach to resolving discrepancies through consultation and, if needed, confirmation by D. The evaluation of bias risk in research papers is performed using established guidelines, and any uncertainties in the data are addressed by contacting the authors directly.

To assess the reliability of studies, the team evaluates various factors such as indirectness, inaccuracy, and publication bias, referencing specific clinical practice guidelines. In synthesizing results, studies with similar designs and high PICO item similarity are pooled, while those with high bias risk are excluded. Missing data is addressed by reaching out to authors, and if unresponsive, it is treated as a missing value. Meta-analysis is conducted using statistical software, with subgroup analyses performed in cases of high heterogeneity.

The certainty of the evidence is quantified based on the evaluation of indirectness, inaccuracy, inconsistency, and publication bias, with a scoring system that categorizes the evidence into high, medium, low, and very low certainty levels. This structured approach ensures a comprehensive and rigorous evaluation of the research findings.
