Published in PLOS ONE
Methodology
PRISMA-guided systematic review of clinical studies of Ginkgo biloba extract on intraocular pressure, visual field indices and ocular blood flow
Key Findings
Evidence for benefit on visual field parameters and ocular blood flow was inconsistent, with methodological heterogeneity and small samples
Conclusions
Current evidence is insufficient to support Ginkgo biloba extract as an effective glaucoma adjunct; larger RCTs are needed
Limitations
Few eligible studies; heterogeneous outcomes and dosing; risk of bias in primary studies
Supplements Studied
This study aims to analyse the efficacy of GBE administration in patients with glaucoma and healthy volunteers.
