Calcium intake in high-risk pregnant women assisted in a high-complexity hospital.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pregnancy is characterized by physiological changes. One of these changes involves calcium. During this period, an increased in calcium excretion occurs as well as an increased intestinal absorption and renal reabsorption, so that the adequate growth and development of the fetus can happen. Low calcium intake is associated with chronic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, which have negative impact on both mother and fetus. This study aimed to evaluate the average calcium intake of high-risk pregnant women, assisted in a clinic of high complexity service and correlated with chronic diseases. To perform this study, it was used a food frequency questionnaire. As a result, high-risk pregnant women showed daily calcium intake lower than the recommended by DRI during this period. Hypertensive or diabetic pregnant women showed lower average intake of calcium. Significant association between calcium intake and nutritional status was not observed. Calcium supplementation was present, however, at low percentage in the groups with hypertensive pregnant women. To analyze the relation between calcium intake and the comorbidities, as well as calcium intake and the nutritional status of the pregnant women, it was used one-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni multiple comparison. Further studies are required for evaluating other parameters that justify the low calcium intake among this population group, and the definition of pathways for the management of the nutritional deficit considering the possible damage to maternal and neonatal health in the short and long term.
