Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Central databases were searched through May 13, 2019. Three independent reviews extracted data and assessed risk of bias. Randomized controlled trials that assessed the effect of barley b-glucan, oat b-glucan, konjac glucomannan (KJM), psyllium, guar gum, and pectin, with a study duration of ? 3 weeks, in adults with or without hypercholesterolemia were included. Data were pooled using the generic inverse variance method with random effects models and expressed as mean differences with 95% confidence intervals. Heterogeneity was assessed by the Cochran Q statistic and quantified by I2 statistic. Overall quality of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) approach.
