Lifestyle, nutritional, and health influences on consumption of artificially-sweetened beverages in educated urban populations.
Article in PloS one, 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
objectivesThis study analysed the prevalence of artificially-sweetened beverages (ASB) consumption in the Thai population, and examined associations between ASB consumption and lifestyle, and nutritional and health-related behaviours. STUDY
designThis study used cross-sectional design using nationally-representative data from the 2021 Health Behavior of Population Survey.
methodsThe study population was 8,155 Thai adults (age 20-64 years) who lived in an urban area and attained at least a bachelor degree education at the time of interview. Binary logistic regression was applied to investigate associations between ASB consumption and sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle behaviors, and obesity in the study adults.
resultsThe study found that participants who were overweight/obese Class 1 had 1.5 times (OR = 1.49, 95% CI 1.18-1.88) and 1.4 times (OR = 1.36, 95% CI 1.08-1.72), respectively, more likely to ASB consumption than those with normal weight. Non-smokers and those who engaged in regular physical activity were more likely to have higher ASB consumption. Participants living with one or more non-communicable disease (NCD) were more likely to be a consumer of ASB than those without a NCD (OR = 1.56, 95% CI 1.24-1.97). Some socio-demographic characteristics (e.g., sex, age, geographic area of residence, education) were also associated with ASB consumption.
conclusionsThe results suggest that government needs to develop effective communication strategies which convey accurate, clear, and concise information to consumers regarding the health effects of ASB consumption. This advice should be incorporated with interventions to improve food literacy, and in marketing control to improve individual consumption behavior and promote a healthier food environment.
