Where are results mixed or inconsistent for Procedures?

consistency issues
Strong Evidence

Results are mixed or unclear for Insulin sensitivity, Composite cardiovascular events (CV death, MI, stroke, HF hospitalization), and C-reactive protein in relation to Procedures.

ConsistencyScore™: Results are mixed and should be interpreted cautiously.

Evidence caveat: Some evidence reported benefits while other evidence found little or no effect.
