Absorption, Scintigraphy, Efficacy and Tolerability of Short-Term Calcium Carbonate Supplementation in Healthy Subjects.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Orally administered calcium carbonate tablets are commonly prescribed as a calcium supplement, and their short-term use is popular among the healthy population. However, being a nutritional supplement, the in vitro properties and clinical efficacy of calcium carbonate supplements are sometimes compromised. The present study aimed to assess the absorption, in vivo dispersion, efficacy and tolerance of Gemcal DS tablet following its short-term use for four weeks. Post-dosing, a gradual rise in serum calcium concentration was observed and the peak increment in serum calcium (4.13±0.38 µg/mL) was reached at four hours. The bioavailability, determined as the area under the curve for six hours (ΔAUC
