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.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Hypercholesterolemic or normocholesterolemic adults, overweight and obese individuals or individuals with diabetes', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Must be a randomized controlled clinical trial with either a parallel or cross-over design\n* have a treatment period of at least 3 weeks\n* Hypercholesterolemic or normocholesterolemic adults, overweight and obese individuals or individuals with diabetes were all acceptable\n* Sources from β-glucan oats, β-glucan barley, konjac, psyllium, guar gum, and pectin were accepted\n* The amount of soluble fiber must be reported or measured or must be computable.\n* Must be appropriately controlled.\n* Must measure one of LDL-C, non-HDL-C or ApoB.
