What is Effect of cinnamon (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum) supplementation on serum C-reactive protein concentrations: A meta-analysis and systematic review about?
## Objective: The effect of cinnamon (cinnamomum zeylanicum) on serum c-reactive protein (crp), an acute phase protein commonly used as a marker of inflammation, is uncertain. therefore, the objective of the present study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of published randomised controlled trials (rcts) of cinnamon to determine the effect on levels of serum crp, relative to controls. ## Design: Studies were identified by a search of electronic databases including pubmed, cochrane library, google scholar and scopus before august 2018. combined and stratified analyses were used. weighted mean differences (wmd) and its 95% confidence interval were estimated for net change in serum crp by using random-effects model. the heterogeneity of meta-analysis was assessed by χ and i test. ## Results: Six studies were identified, and data from 285 participants were included. pooled analysis showed significant reductions in serum crp (wmd: -0.81 mg/l, 95% ci: -1.36 to -0.26, p = 0.004), with significant heterogeneity between selected studies. improvements in sub-group analysis were observed when baseline crp levels were greater than 3 mg/dl, and in trials of >12 weeks duration.
