Consumption of Sugary Beverages by Adults Prior to Sugary Drink Tax in Colombia: An Analysis of the National Nutrition Survey 2015.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesColombia has implemented a tiered tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), reaching 20% for high-sugar products by 2025. To inform evaluations of this policy, we estimated taxed and untaxed beverage intake prior to implementation and examined differences across sociodemographic groups.
methodsWe analyzed 24 h dietary recall data from the 2015 National Survey of the Nutritional Situation of Colombia (ENSIN;
resultsEighty-four percent of adults consumed taxed beverages, with per capita intake of 209 kcal (95% CI: 203-216) and 481 mL (95% CI: 464-497). Sixty-three percent consumed high-sugar taxed beverages, with intake of 134 kcal (95% CI: 130-139) and 292 mL (95% CI: 282-303) per capita. Untaxed beverages accounted for 109 kcal (95% CI: 106-112) and 837 mL (95% CI: 793-882) per capita. Across categories, the highest per capita kcal intakes were from untaxed dairy/milk substitutes (67 kcal, 95% CI: 64-69), any taxed fruit/vegetable juices (61 kcal, 95% CI: 55-66), and any taxed sodas/carbonated beverages (47 kcal, 95% CI: 44-50). Males consumed more taxed beverages of any type (255 kcal, 95% CI: 247-264) than females (174 kcal, 95% CI: 165-182).
conclusionsPrior to its SSB tax, Colombians had a high consumption of SSBs that would be subject to the tax. Future research should assess how consumption changed in response to the tax.
