Product Information

Phosphatidylcholine improves the absorption of silybine and thus promotes the natural regeneration of the liver. We are very uncertain about effects on adverse events of most of the supplements that we investigated, as the evidence is of very low certainty. We defined a serious adverse event as any event that would increase mortality; is life‐threatening; requires hospitalisation; results in persistent or significant disability; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or is any important medical event that might jeopardise the person or require intervention for prevention ( ICH‐GCP 1997). Nutritional supplementation (the main focus of this review) may work in different ways, for example, vitamin E decreases oxidative damage to liver cells ( Chalasani 2012); the effect of vitamin D supplementation may be mediated through its ability to decrease inflammatory markers and lipid peroxidation ( Sharifi 2014); that of probiotics may be mediated through its ability to decrease inflammatory markers and alter lipid profile ( Al‐Muzafar 2017); and that of polyunsaturated fatty acids may be mediated through ability to alter the lipid profile ( Chalasani 2012). e. if a person has had an event, he or she is not at increased risk of further outcomes, which is the assumption in Poisson likelihood).

The certainty of evidence was low or very low for all clinical outcomes because all trials included in the comparisons were at unclear or high risk of bias for at least one risk of bias domain at the outcome level (downgraded one level). Overall, downgrading of evidence resulted in very low certainty of evidence for all comparisons of clinical outcomes. In all, 142 trials were at low risk of detection bias; 44 trials, which did not provide sufficient information, were at unclear risk of detection bias; the remaining 16 trials were at high risk of detection bias, as it is clear that outcome assessors were not blinded. We estimated the ranking probabilities for all interventions of being at each possible rank for each intervention for each outcome when NMA (network meta‐analysis) was performed.

We estimated the probability that each intervention was ranked at each of the possible positions based on estimated effect sizes and their corresponding uncertainty using the NICE DSU codes ( Dias 2016). The accumulation of fat leading to NAFLD is believed to be mediated by insulin resistance because insulin resistance promotes the breakdown of peripheral adipose tissue with resultant increased influx of free fatty acids; promotes synthesis of new triglycerides within the liver; and decreases oxidation of free fatty acids ( Abdelmalek 2007; Buzzetti 2016). HEPAGUARD is a complex of carefully selected micronutrients that are as natural as possible, which was developed for the needs of the horse. g. treatment was withdrawn due to adverse events, duration of treatment was shortened because of lack of response, and such participants were excluded from analysis), this could lead to biased results; therefore, we conducted best‐worst case scenario analysis (assuming a good outcome in the intervention group and a bad outcome in the control group) and worst‐best case scenario analysis (assuming a bad outcome in the intervention group and a good outcome in the control group) as sensitivity analyses, whenever possible (regardless of whether we considered that the data were missing at random or were not missing at random), for binary and time‐to‐event outcomes when binomial likelihood was used. Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an accumulation of fat in the liver of people who have no history of significant alcohol consumption, use of medicines, disease such as hepatitis C virus infection, or other conditions such as starvation that can damage the liver.

We assessed inconsistency (statistical evidence of violation of the transitivity assumption) by fitting both an inconsistency model and a consistency model.Low risk of bias: sequence generation was achieved using computer random number generation or a random numbers table.
