National Adoption of World Health Organization Recommendations on Calcium Supplementation During Pregnancy.
Review in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In several countries, pregnant women have suboptimal intakes of calcium and high rates of mortality due to maternal hypertensive disorders. Calcium supplementation during pregnancy reduces the risk of these disorders and is recommended for pregnant women with low dietary calcium intake to prevent preeclampsia. Our objective was to evaluate the global adoption of the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation for calcium supplementation during pregnancy to prevent pre-eclampsia. Each WHO member state's Ministry of Health website, Google, and WHO databases were searched, between January and July 2024, to identify national antenatal care guidelines. We found pregnancy-related guidelines published between 2007 and 2024 in 92 countries of the 194 countries included in this review (47.4%), of which 58 (63%) included calcium intake recommendations, and 29 recommended calcium supplementation with doses varying from 0.5 to 2 g of elemental calcium per day. Most of these guidelines were from upper middle- or high-income countries (19, 65.5%), whereas in countries where this recommendation is most needed, there is a lack of published calcium supplementation recommendations during pregnancy.
