RESUMEN
PURPOSE: This study aims to elucidate the dose-dependent effect of coenzyme Q10 supplementation (CoQ10) on exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), physical performance, and oxidative stress in adults. METHODS: A systematic search was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science databases up to August 2023, focusing on randomized control trials (RCTs) that investigated the effects of CoQ10 supplementation on EIMD recovery, physical performance and oxidative stress mitigation in adults. The weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95 % confidence interval (95 %CI) were estimated using the random-effects model. RESULTS: The meta-analysis incorporated 28 RCTs, encompassing 830 subjects. CoQ10 supplementation significantly decreased creatine kinase (CK) (WMD: -50.64 IU/L; 95 %CI: -74.75, -26.53, P < 0.001), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (WMD: -52.10 IU/L; 95 %CI: -74.01, -30.19, P < 0.001), myoglobin (Mb) (WMD: -21.77 ng/ml; 95 %CI: -32.59, -10.94, P < 0.001), and Malondialdehyde (MDA) (WMD: -0.73 µmol/l; 95 %CI: -1.26, -0.20, P = 0.007) levels. No significant alteration in total antioxidant capacity was observed post-CoQ10 treatment. Each 100 mg/day increase in CoQ10 supplementation was correlated with a significant reduction in CK (MD: -23.07 IU/L, 95 %CI: -34.27, -11.86), LDH (WMD: -27.21 IU/L, 95 %CI: -28.23, -14.32), Mb (MD: -7.09 ng/ml; 95 %CI: -11.35, -2.83) and MDA (WMD: -0.17 µmol/l, 95 %CI: -0.29, -0.05) serum levels. Using SMD analysis, "very large" effects on LDH and "moderate" effects on CK and MDA were noted, albeit nonsignificant for other outcomes. CONCLUSION: CoQ10 supplementation may be effective in reducing biomarkers of EIMD and oxidative stress in adults. Nevertheless, given the preponderance of studies conducted in Asia, the generalizability of these findings warrants caution. Further RCTs, particularly in non-Asian populations with large sample sizes and extended supplementation durations, are essential to substantiate these observations.

Until now, no study evaluated the impact of optimum intake of omega-3 fatty acids on inflammatory factors. We aimed to investigate the dose-dependent effects of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation on inflammatory factors in cancer patients. PubMed, Scopus and ISI Web of Science were searched until July 2022 to find randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for examining the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids on inflammatory factors. Our primary outcomes were interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), and albumin. The results of 33 trials (2068 participants) revealed that each 1 g/day omega-3 fatty acids (oral/enteral) significantly reduced IL-6 (SMD: -1.17 pg/ml; 95% CI: -1.78, -0.55; p < 0.001; GRADE = moderate), and TNF-α (SMD: -2.15 pg/ml; 95% CI: -3.14, -1.16; p < 0.001; GRADE = very low). Moreover, each 0.5 g/kg/day omega-3 fatty acids (parenteral) significantly reduced TNF-α (SMD: -1.11 pg/ml; 95% CI: -2.02, -0.19; p = 0.017; GRADE = low). With moderate and very low evidence certainty, each 1 g/day of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation (oral/enteral) has a beneficial effect on IL-6 and TNF-α. Each 0.5 g/kg/day omega-3 fatty acids (parenteral) could also exert a favorable impact on TNF-α, but the certainty of the evidence was low.

We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of n-3 fatty acids supplementation on the risk of developing depression, depressive symptoms and remission of depression. We searched PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science from inception to December 2022 to find randomised trials of n-3 fatty acids supplementation in adults. We conducted random-effects meta-analyses to estimate standardised mean differences (SMD) and 95 % CI for continuous outcomes and risk difference and 95 % CI for binary outcomes. A total of sixty-seven trials were included. Each 1 g/d n-3 fatty acids supplementation significantly improved depressive symptoms in adults with and without depression (moderate-certainty evidence), with a larger improvement in patients with existing depression. Dose-response analyses indicated a U-shaped effect in patients with existing depression, with the greatest improvement at 1·5 g/d. The analysis showed that n-3 fatty acid supplementation significantly increased depression remission by 19 more per 100 in patients with depression (low-certainty evidence). Supplementation with n-3 fatty acids did not reduce the risk of developing depression among the general population, but it did improve the severity of depression among patients with existing depression.

CONTEXT: To date, the efficacy of nutritional interventions on oral mucositis (OM) in patients with cancer, and the quality of this evidence have not been explored. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this umbrella review was to provide a comprehensive evaluation of nutritional interventions for patients with cancer with OM, as well as to assess the quality of this evidence. DATA SOURCES: Meta-analyses were searched for using PubMed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science databases until December 2021, with no time restrictions. DATA EXTRACTION: Meta-analyses of randomized control trials that evaluated the effects of nutritional interventions on the incidence of OM in patients with cancer had inclusion criteria for this umbrella review. Data extraction, quality assessment of meta-analyses, and primary studies were done independently by 2 authors. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation technique was used to grade the certainty of evidence. DATA ANALYSIS: A total of 26 meta-analyses were included in this umbrella review. The results showed that honey, glutamine, and propolis can reduce the incidence of severe OM, based on moderate evidence quality. In addition, zinc supplementation significantly reduced the incidence of OM, regardless of symptom severity; however, low certainty of the evidence was observed. The effects of vitamin E, curcumin, and probiotics on OM were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: This umbrella review shows that honey, glutamine, and propolis can significantly reduce the incidence of severe OM. These findings need to be confirmed with well-designed, longitudinal randomized controlled trials. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: PROSPERO registration no. CRD42022301010.

BACKGROUND: Selenium is an essential nutrient with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immuno-regulatory properties. Studies have displayed that in critically ill patients, selenium supplementation may be a potentially promising adjunctive therapy. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to present an overview of the effects of selenium supplementation in adult critically ill patients based on published systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMAs) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS: A literature search in three electronic databases, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, was performed to find eligible SRMAs until July 2022. For each outcome, the risk ratios (RRs) or mean differences (MDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were recalculated using either random or fixed effect models. The methodological quality and quality of evidence of the SRMAs were assessed by applying "A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews" (AMSTAR2) and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation(GRADE) tools, respectively. RESULTS: We included 17 meta-analyses containing 24 RCTs based on inclusion criteria. Selenium supplementation can reduce the incidence of mortality (RR: 0.83, 95% CI 0.71, 0.98, P = 0.024) and incidence of acute renal failure (RR: 0.67, 95% CI 0.46, 0.98, P: 0.038) significantly; however, the certainty of evidence was low. Moreover, with moderate to very low certainty of evidence, no significant effects were found for risk of infection (RR: 0.92, 95% CI 0.80, 1.05, P: 0.207), pneumonia (RR: 1.11, 95% CI 0.72, 1.72, P: 0.675), as well as the length of ICU (MD: 0.15, 95% CI - 1.75, 2.05, P: 0.876) and hospital stay (MD: - 0.51, 95% CI - 3.74, 2.72, P: 0.757) and days on ventilation (MD: - 0.98, 95% CI - 2.93, 0.98, P: 0.329). CONCLUSIONS: With low quality of evidence, the use of selenium supplementation could improve the risk of mortality and acute renal failure, but not other outcomes in critically ill patients.

CONTEXT: Numerous meta-analyses have been conducted on the effects of nutritional interventions on various health outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the strength of the evidence and its clinical significance are unclear. OBJECTIVE: This umbrella review aimed to summarize the effects of nutritional interventions on women with PCOS and assess the strength of the evidence. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched from inception until March 17, 2021. DATA EXTRACTION: Meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that examined the impact of dietary modifications or supplementations on women with PCOS were selected. Data extraction, quality assessments of the meta-analyses, and evaluation of the strength of the evidence were conducted independently by 2 investigators and confirmed by a third. DATA ANALYSIS: Twenty-eight RCT meta-analyses were included, reporting 40 different outcomes. Lower carbohydrate, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, or lower glycemic index/load diets in women with PCOS significantly improved some anthropometric and metabolic characteristics (with very low to low certainty). Probiotics/synbiotics reduced fasting plasma glucose, fasting insulin (FI), and homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (with moderate to high certainty). Curcumin supplementation decreased fasting plasma glucose, FI, and HOMA-IR (with moderate certainty). Fish oil supplementation decreased FI and HOMA-IR, and omega-3 reduced triglycerides (with moderate certainty). There were also improvements in FI after taking vitamin D or inositol supplements (with moderate certainty). Supplementation with fish oil increased adiponectin (with high certainty), and probiotics/synbiotics reduced total testosterone (with moderate certainty). In subfertile women with PCOS, inositol increased the ovulation rates (with moderate certainty). CONCLUSION: There was no high-certainty evidence that diets alone in women with PCOS improved health or reproductive outcomes. Supplementation with vitamin D, probiotics/synbiotics, omega-3, inositol, and curcumin showed favorable effects on some metabolic outcomes. Probiotics/synbiotics possibly reduces total testosterone, and inositol stimulates ovulation in women with PCOS. REGISTRATION: PROSPERO registration no. CRD42021251496.

BACKGROUND: Uncertainty remains about the estimates of the effects for resveratrol supplementation, including the certainty of the evidence for each estimate and the magnitude of the observed impact based on the minimal important difference. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to provide an overview of the effects of resveratrol supplementation, in comparison to control groups, for the management of cardiometabolic risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS: PubMed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science were searched from inception to May 2021. For each meta-analysis, the mean difference and its 95% CI were recalculated using a random-effects model. The certainty of evidence was rated using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) approach. RESULTS: We identified 11 meta-analyses corresponding to 29 outcomes in 1476 individuals with T2D, 17 meta-analyses reporting 26 outcomes in 727 participants with the MetS, and 10 meta-analyses reporting 24 outcomes in 271 patients with NAFLD. Resveratrol supplementation had beneficial effects on some outcomes such as blood pressure, lipid profile, glycemic control, and insulin resistance in T2D, waist circumference in MetS, and body-weight and inflammation markers in NAFLD; however, for almost all outcomes, the magnitude of the effect was trivial, the certainty of evidence was very low to low, or the number of trials was too few. In the case of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), there was evidence that resveratrol can exert favorable and clinically important effects in the short term (<12 wk; mean difference: -1.05%, 95% CI: -2.09%, -0.02%; n = 6; GRADE = moderate). CONCLUSIONS: Current evidence does not support supplementation with resveratrol for the management of cardiometabolic risk factors in patients with T2D, MetS, and NAFLD. In the case of HbA1c, subject to the limitations such as short-term follow-up and small sample size, there was a clinically important effect. The protocol of the present systematic review was registered in Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/ake85; registration doi: 10.17605/OSF.IO/AKE85).
