Human — systematic review/meta-analysis
37 randomized trials with 2,292 participants; search through January 2019.
Pooled trials found a modest average effect on body weight, but no significant effect on waist circumference or body-fat percentage.
Populations and study quality varied; high-quality studies confirmed only the weight outcome. The abstract is not a comprehensive harms review and does not validate this vial.
PMID 32359762. Indexed abstract checked through Europe PMC on 2026-10-26. Selected evidence, not a systematic review.
