Variations in Sugar Content of Flavored Milks and Yogurts: A Cross-Sectional Study across 3 Countries.
Article in Current developments in nutrition, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundThe consumption of dairy products is encouraged at all life stages as a nutrient-rich component of the diet. However, many milk and yogurt products, particularly flavored varieties, may contain large amounts of free sugar.
objectivesThe aim of this paper was to evaluate the availability and sugar content of flavored milks and yogurts in supermarkets across 3 countries: Australia, England, and South.
methodsNutrition information for flavored milks and yogurts was collected by trained researchers and supplemented by crowd-sourced data from a smartphone application. Data were extracted in April 2018 and 3724 milk and yogurt products were available for analysis. Mean sugar concentrations were compared across countries with the use of ANOVA followed by Tukey's post-hoc pairwise comparisons. Sugar concentrations were compared with the UK's "green" traffic-light classifications.
resultsApproximately 74% (
conclusionsIn Australia, England, and South Africa, flavored milks and yogurts are highly prevalent in the food supply and contain significantly higher concentrations of total and added sugars than unflavored products.
