The high carbonated and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) consumption and associated factors in the West of Iran: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 soft carbonated drinks and other sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) has been identified as a risk factor for several chronic diseases. We aimed to ascertain the proportion of carbonated beverage and SSB consumption, as well as the associated factors, in Hamadan, a city in the west of Iran.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on adults over 18 years old. To estimate the information related to the consumption of SSB, the standardized Iranian version of the FFQ questionnaire was used. The weekly consumption of four or more cups was considered to be high consumption. Multiple logistic regression was used for the identification of related factors of SSB. The results were reported at the 95% confidence level.
resultsA total of 628 individuals were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 38.05 (SD = 12.54), and 42.36% of the sample was male. The frequency (%) of high total SSB consumption was 321 (51.11%), with 95% CI: 47.20, 55.02. The high consumption was higher among males than females, 162 (60.90%) versus 159 (43.92%); p < 0.001, and among unmarried and married individuals was 54.88% and 50.55% respectively but the difference was not significant (p = 0.465). The odds of high SSB consumption were significantly lower for individuals of advanced age and female gender. In terms of socioeconomic status, the second, third, and fourth quartiles exhibited higher odds of high SSB consumption compared to the first quartile, with ORs of 1.64 (95% CI: 1.04, 2.60), 1.61 (95% CI: 1.01, 2.57), and 1.77 (95% CI: 1.09, 2.88), respectively.
conclusionBased on the results of this study the high sugar-sweetened beverage consumption was significant. The consumption among females and younger was lower than males and older people. It seems, that there is a significant negative association between female gender and age with SSB consumption, suggesting that males and older individuals tend to consume more sugar-sweetened beverages. On the other hand, socio-economic status was positively associated with SSB consumption, indicating that individuals with higher socio-economic status may have a higher intake of these beverages.
