Ca(2+)/Finding
One finding, on its own
A single claim from the graph, with the evidence strength computed from its study, the sentence it was drawn from, and the paper. This address does not change.
Ca(2+) — decreases systolic blood pressure (setting unspecified)
Evidence strength: moderate.Findingreplicated ×4“There was a greater reduction in blood pressure in the calcium group compared with the placebo group for systolic (difference 3.1 mmHg, 95% CI 0.8 to 5.4) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) (difference 2.0 mmHg, 95% CI 0.1 to 3.8).”

- RCT
- Dose
- 500 mg elemental calcium daily as one chewable tablet vs identical placebo
- Population
- Non-pregnant women with pre-eclampsia or eclampsia in their most recent pregnancy, low habitual calcium intake (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Argentina); change in blood pressure at the 12-week visit; those not pregnant at that visit
Effect 3.1 mean difference, 95% CI 0.8 to 5.4
