The “Results” section of the “Abstract” has been corrected from:

“Overall, five studies were included in the meta-analysis. Pooled outcomes suggest that patients with diabetes PIO treatment significantly increased ADP levels. On the other hand, no significant differences were observed for those treated with PIO. Other diabetes-related parameters were tested, comparing the effect of MET vs. PIO treatment, and yielded significant results for HOMA-IR and BMI.”

“Overall, five studies were included in the meta-analysis. Pooled outcomes suggest that patients with diabetes receiving PIO treatment have significantly increased ADP levels. On the other hand, no significant differences were observed for those treated with MET. Other diabetes-related parameters were tested, comparing the effect of MET vs. PIO treatment, and yielded significant results for HOMA-IR and BMI.”
