Sweetened beverage intake across moderate intake range is not associated with pregnancy-related weight change or biomarkers of glycemic control.

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
While sweetened beverage intake is associated with weight and glycemic outcomes in the general population, relations during pregnancy are unclear. This prospective observational study tested the hypothesis that greater sweetened beverage intake would be associated with higher pregnancy-related weight change and glucose regulation biomarkers. The Pregnancy Eating Attributes Study recruited participants with uncomplicated singleton pregnancies ≤12 weeks gestation and no major chronic illness from 2 obstetrics clinics in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Healthcare System from November 2014 to October 2016. Data from participants with completed pregnancy dietary recalls (n = 365) were analyzed. Intake (oz) of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) and non-nutritive sweetened beverages (NNSB) was calculated from 24-h dietary recalls across pregnancy and across postpartum. Weight was measured throughout pregnancy to 1-year postpartum to determine gestational weight gain adequacy and 1-year postpartum weight retention; fasting blood glucose and insulin were obtained in the 2nd trimester. Multinomial logistic regressions estimated associations of sweetened beverage intake with gestational weight gain adequacy; linear regressions estimated associations of sweetened beverage intake with postpartum weight retention, fasting blood glucose, and insulin. In analyses adjusted for age, household income-poverty ratio, education, marital status, and physical activity, neither SSB nor NNSB intake during pregnancy was associated with excessive gestational weight gain, postpartum weight retention, fasting glucose or fasting insulin. Additionally, SSB and NNSB intake in postpartum were unassociated with postpartum weight retention. Sweetened beverages may not contribute to excess pregnancy-related weight gain or glucose dysregulation within the moderate range of intake observed in this sample.
