Forest plot detailing weighted mean difference and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the effect of acarbose on A) TG (mg/dl); B) TC (mg/dl); C) LDL (mg/dl) and D) HDL (mg/dl). Horizontal lines represent 95% CIs. Diamonds represent pooled estimates from random-effects analysis, WMD: weighted mean difference; CI, confidence interval, TG, triglyceride; TC, total cholesterol; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high density lipoprotein
