Across 3 meta-analyses, calcium supplementation showed a small beneficial effect on reducing stillbirth in one study, while two studies found neutral effects, and none reached statistical significance. The evidence is predominantly neutral with small effect sizes, primarily studied in pregnant women at doses around 1000 mg/day as calcium carbonate or high-dose (>1000 mg/day) regimens. All three studies had moderate-certainty evidence but wide confidence intervals crossing the null.
