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: very limited.Findingreplicated ×4
    “After further adjustment for demographic, anthropometric, dietary, social, and economic variables, the decrease in 6-month systolic blood pressure was -3.0 mm Hg (95% CI, -4.9 to -1.1) for each 500-mg increment of maternal supplemental calcium intake during pregnancy.”
