Plain-language summary
A plain-language read of the study’s main message and where it applies.
Study focus
This study investigated the effect of myrtle syrup on proteinuria in patients with type 2 diabetes, finding a significant decrease in urine protein levels compared to placebo.
The findings suggest that myrtle syrup may be a beneficial intervention for managing proteinuria in type 2 diabetes patients, potentially reducing the risk of kidney-related complications. This could lead to new dietary recommendations or treatments for diabetes management.
Limited sample size may affect generalizability. Short duration of the study may not capture long-term effects. Lack of diversity in the participant population.

Myrtle syrup reduced urine protein by 129 units (P=0.001).
Serum creatinine decreased by 0.12 units in the myrtle syrup group (P=0.012).
No significant changes were observed in blood urea nitrogen (P=0.490) or fasting blood sugar (P=0.750).
