The Effect of Non-Nutritive Sweeteners' Consumption on Body Weight: A Randomized-Controlled Trial.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
For several decades, non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) have been used as alternatives to sugar for caloric control, but their metabolic effects remain unclear. In the literature, they were blamed to contribute to several conditions, including obesity. While their effect on body weight has been investigated in numerous studies, the results have been inconsistent. Our study aims to investigate the effect of NNS consumption on body weight, and whether the results vary among different types of sweeteners. A randomized-controlled trial was conducted on a final number of 20 healthy participants over a period of 6 weeks, with an initial screening session and two follow-up sessions. Anthropometric measurements were taken at each visit. While NNS consumers were randomly assigned to the sucralose (0.507 mg/kg;
