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 colorectal adenoma recurrence after polypectomy

    Evidence strength: very limited.Findingreplicated ×1
    “Meta-analysis of 3 trials in individuals with a history of adenomas showed a statistically significant reduction in the RR for adenoma recurrence (RR = 0.80 [95% CI, 0.69-0.94], P = 0.006) for those receiving calcium 1200 to 2000 mg/d, but no effect was seen in advanced adenoma (RR = 0.77 [95% CI, 0.501.17], P = NS).”
