Added Sugars Intake and Metabolic Syndrome in U.S. Hispanic/Latino Adults: Longitudinal Results From the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos.
Article in AJPM focus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Excessive sugar-sweetened beverage consumption is associated with metabolic syndrome, but few studies have evaluated the associations with added sugars from all dietary sources. The authors evaluated cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between added sugars intake and metabolic syndrome and its components in a cohort of U.S. Hispanic/Latino adults. In addition, the authors conducted a secondary analysis to evaluate whether sugar-sweetened beverages were independently associated with metabolic syndrome and its components. Methods: The authors used baseline ( Results: Metabolic syndrome prevalence was 24.8% at baseline, and average added sugars was 14.4%. In the cross-sectional analysis, those in the fifth quintile of added sugars had odds of metabolic syndrome (OR=1.01, 95% CI=0.74, 1.39; Conclusions: Added sugars were not associated with prevalent or incident metabolic syndrome among U.S. Hispanic/Latino adults. However, findings from secondary analyses suggest that sugar-sweetened beverages may have a distinct metabolic impact, particularly on waist circumference, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fasting glucose, warranting further investigation.
