Ca(2+) — no detected effect on systolic blood pressure (setting unspecified)
Evidence strength: limited.FindingNull result“ITT models showed no significant difference between calcium and placebo groups in the change in SBP at P36 compared with P20 (mean ± SEM percentage of change: −0.64 ± 0.65 mm Hg; P = 0.3), DBP (mean ± SEM percentage of change: −0.22 ± 1.15 mm Hg; P = 0.8), or body weight (mean ± SEM percentage of change: −0.38 ± 0.38 kg; P = 0.3).”
