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.

    “Postdiagnostic supplemental calcium intake was inversely associated with colorectal cancer–specific mortality (HR comparing the highest with the lowest quartile intake, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.42–1.06; P trend = 0.047) and all-cause mortality (HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.54–0.94; P trend = 0.008, Table 2).”
