1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundInadequate diet is considered a major risk factor for chronic noncommunicable diseases and mortality. Among the ultra-processed foods, sweetened soft drinks are significant contributors to high-calorie diets and are associated with adverse health outcomes.

objectiveTo estimate the association between soft drink consumption and the risk of cardiovascular events. DESIGN AND

settingA cross-sectional study was conducted using data of adults aged ≥ 18 years from the 2013 National Health Survey.

methodsThe explanatory variable was the daily consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks. Cardiovascular risk (CVR) was calculated using the Framingham score. Multinomial logistic regression was used for the analyses. Two models were used: one adjusted for age and body mass index and the other for age and waist circumference. Both models were applied to the general population and stratified by race and educational attainment.

resultsThe study sample consisted of 8,391 participants. Individuals with sugary soda consumption ≥ 0.4 cups/day were associated with a higher CVR, which escalated with increasing consumption of soft drinks.

conclusionsCVR was observed across all consumption categories and difference in risk was based on the intake quantity.
