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+) — no detected effect on preterm birth incidence

    Evidence strength: very limited.FindingNull resultreplicated ×2
    “There were no statistically significant differences between women who received calcium supplementation and those who did not in terms of reducing preterm births (less than 37 weeks' gestation) (risk ratio (RR) 0.90; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.73 to 1.11; 12 studies, 15615 women; random-effects model) and also in less than 34 weeks' gestation (RR 1.11; 95% CI 0.84 to 1.46; three trials, 5145 women).”
