Differences between protocol and review

After the protocol was published an additional author (Deepak Pannerselvam) was included to help in data analysis and writing of the review.

At the time of writing the protocol, we had planned to include studies investigating the use of single botanicals or herbs for diabetes, but later decided to confine to use of mixture of herbs or whole system interventions, since use of single herbs is not the usual Ayurvedic practice. Moreover, Cochrane reviews were already published or planned for some of the single botanicals/herbs.

Many studies had reported on outcomes such as postprandial blood sugar, total cholesterol, HDL‐ and LDL‐cholesterol and triglycerides. These outcomes were added as secondary outcomes and analysed in this review. The AMED database could not be searched with an elaborate search strategy as planned, but was searched using simple search terms only.

PICO

Population

Outcome

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).
