Disorders of bone and mineral metabolism in pregnancy and lactation: A case based clinical review.
Review in Osteoporosis and sarcopenia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Bone and mineral metabolism in the human body undergoes significant adaptations during pregnancy and lactation to meet the physiological demands of both the mother and fetus. The growing fetus requires approximately 30 g of calcium, with 80% of this transferred from the mother during the third trimester. These adaptations involve complex hormonal changes, such as increased parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, ensuring the mother maintains calcium balance despite fetal demands. However, these changes can also exacerbate pre-existing metabolic bone disorders, presenting unique challenges during pregnancy. This narrative review, framed around illustrative case examples, focuses on the management of metabolic bone disorders in pregnancy. Relevant case studies of hypercalcemia, hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia, and osteoporosis and chronic kidney disease mineral bone disorder are reviewed to illustrate the biochemical changes, clinical implications, and therapeutic strategies available during pregnancy and lactation. We analyze literature from case reports and existing guidelines to provide practical clinical recommendations. The review highlights critical pregnancy-related metabolic adaptations, such as increased intestinal calcium absorption and skeletal resorption. Disorders like primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia present significant maternal and fetal risks, including miscarriage, growth restriction, and neonatal complications. Early identification and tailored treatment, including hydration, parathyroidectomy, and vitamin D supplementation, mitigate these risks, with surgical interventions in PHPT improving pregnancy outcomes compared to conservative management. Management of metabolic bone disorders during pregnancy and lactation requires a nuanced approach to meet the dual needs of the mother and fetus.
