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
Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the trends in total sugar intake among Korean and assess its current status. Methods: Using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2016 to 2023, we analyzed the trends in total sugar intake and major food sources among Koreans. Excessive sugar intake was defined as an intake exceeding 20% of the recommended total daily energy intake from sugar. Results: The total sugar intake decreased from 67.9 g in 2016 to 59.8 g in 2023, and the proportion of individuals intaking excessive sugar intake also decreased during this period (19.2% vs. 16.9%). The major sources of sugar were beverages, teas, and fruits. People aged 10-49, with high total sugar intake consumed a high proportion of beverages and teas. The sugar intake from beverages, teas, and fruits of individuals who consumed excess sugar was over three times higher than that of those with sugar consumption less than 20% of their total energy. Conclusions: The Korean total sugar intake has reduced. Total sugar intake is largely from beverages, ice cream, and snacks which have high added sugar. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed to reduce intake of such food items with high added sugar.
