Trends in Low-Calorie Sweetener Consumption Among Pregnant Women in the United States.

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
backgroundMinimizing consumption of added sugars is recommended to prevent excessive weight gain among pregnant women. A common approach to lowering sugar intake is the use of low-calorie sweeteners (LCSs), yet little is known about LCS use during pregnancy or its effects on infant weight and health.
objectiveThe aim of the study was to investigate temporal trends in LCS consumption by source (foods, beverages, or packets) among pregnant women in the United States from 1999 to 2014 and to compare recent LCS consumption patterns across sociodemographic subgroups and product categories.
methodsData were collected from pregnant women aged 20-39 y (
resultsThe prevalence of LCS consumption among pregnant women increased by approximately 50% rising from 16.2% in 1999-2004 to 24.0% in 2007-2014,
conclusionsApproximately one-quarter of pregnant women in the United States reported consumption of LCS during at least 1 of 2 dietary recalls. Given the widespread LCS consumption during pregnancy, research to elucidate potential effects of early life LCS exposure on taste preferences, weight trajectory, and risk of later metabolic disease is needed.
