Changes in Population-Level Consumption of Taxed and Non-Taxed Sugar-Sweetened Beverages (SSB) after Implementation of SSB Excise Tax in Thailand: A Prospective Cohort Study.

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
backgroundThailand has implemented a sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) excise tax since September 2017, but questions remain about changes in individual-level SSB consumption after tax implementation. This study aimed to analyze the change in taxed and non-taxed SSB consumption in the Thai population.
methodThis cohort study was carried out in 2018 and 2019. A total of 5594 persons who participated in both years were included in the analysis. Descriptive and
resultsA lower mean ratio of average taxed SSBs consumed to average non-taxed SSBs consumed was found to be statistically significant (
conclusionsOverall, the current SSB tax has the capacity to successfully discourage consumption of SSBs with high sugar level. The decline in SSB consumption is, however, not found across all socioeconomic groups. Thresholds for SSB-tiered tax structure may have to be reviewed.
