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
objectivesUnited States (US) youth consume an average of 10 teaspoons of added sugar from sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) on any given day. Few population-based studies have examined the association between SSB consumption and asthma in children and adolescents. This study aimed to examine the association between SSB consumption and asthma in the US pediatric population.
designAnalytical cross-sectional study. SETTING AND
participantsA total of 9,938 children aged 2-to-17 years old who participated in the 2011-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. SSB consumption was categorized into 3 groups based on the caloric intake from 24-hour food recall data as follows: 1) no consumption (0 kcal/day); 2) moderate consumption (1-499 kcal/day); and 3) heavy consumption (≥ 500 kcal/day). The primary outcome of interest was self-reported current asthma condition.
resultsAsthma prevalence estimates were significantly higher in heavy (16.4%) and moderate (11.0%) SSB consumers versus non-consumers (7.5%) (
conclusionsFindings here suggest a dose-response relationship between SSB intake and asthma diagnosis, therefore controlling SSB consumption may potentially improve pulmonary health risk in the US pediatric population.
