✦ Synopsis

Lewis and colleagues report that calcium supplements had no effect on the incidence of atherosclerotic vascular disease. (1) We do not agree that these results differ from previous studies or provide ''compelling evidence'' of the cardiovascular safety of calcium supplements. Instead, these findings are severely limited by a failure to report important data or capture all relevant events and a lack of statistical power.
