Contributions of authors

SK, LH, CC, RG, HL, and HJ screened titles and abstracts and assessed studies for formal inclusion and exclusion.

SK, LA, EL, and JC abstracted data and assessed methodological rigour.

Analyses were conducted by EL and LA and checked by JC and KR.

SK wrote the first draft of the review, which was updated by EL, KR, LA, and SK.

LA retrieved trial records and conducted GRADE assessment and 'Summary of findings' table, which was checked by SK.

GF critically read the final draft.

Differences between protocol and review

We expanded the inclusion criteria for this review to include the primary and secondary prevention of coronary heart disease. Since the last update of this review in 2007, a separate Cochrane Review has been published focusing on the effects of whole grain foods for the prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus (Priebe 2008). Hence, we excluded studies with diabetes as an outcome or changes in related risk factors including impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance or sensitivity, glucose or insulin outcomes. We excluded studies reporting weight, body mass index, and other anthropometric outcomes if they did not also measure lipids or blood pressure. As more trials are currently available, we have excluded short‐term studies and included only those of at least 12 weeks' duration. We specified an eligible participant age of inclusion of 18 years or older (previously ≥ 16 years).

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

Total cholesterol change (mmol/L)
Objectively measured

The mean total cholesterol change ranged across lower levels of whole grain dietary intake groups from ‐0.4 to 0.3.

The mean total cholesterol change (mmol/L) in the intervention groups was 0.07 higher

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

Working definition of whole grain: whole grain products made from milled flour were required to have > 51% of dry weight from whole grain flour. When possible, whole grain products with the 100% whole grain stamp were selected, which indicated that each grain serving contained at least 16 g whole grain and used 100% whole grain flour.

Whole grain content of diets ranged from 163 to 301 g/day, as energy content of diets were adjusted for individual requirements. Energy of diets was 1600 to 3600 kilocalories/day.

Based on energy intake of 2100 kilocalories/day, typical whole grains supplied were 187 g/day (7 servings/day).
