State-Level Differences in Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption by Income Among Children Aged 1-5 Years, United States, 2021-2023.
Article in Childhood obesity (Print), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption among young children can be associated with obesity and other adverse health outcomes. Consumption varies by socioeconomic factors such as household income and geographic region, although how these factors might jointly affect SSB consumption is unknown. We evaluated state-level associations between income-to-poverty ratio (IPR) and SSB consumption among children aged 1-5 years in the United States.
methodsWe conducted a pooled cross-sectional study of 55,399 children aged 1-5 years using 2021-2023 National Survey of Children's Health data. We estimated the prevalence of SSB consumption ≥4 times per week by household IPR (<130%, 130%-349%, ≥350%) and state. Multivariable logistic regression evaluated the association between IPR and SSB consumption after adjusting for age, sex, and race and ethnicity.
resultsNationally, 21.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 20.2%-21.9%) of children consumed SSBs ≥4 times per week, and this varied significantly by IPR (<130%: 33.1% [95% CI: 30.7%-35.6%], 130%-349%: 22.4% [95% CI: 21.0%-23.9%], ≥350%: 12.1% [95% CI: 11.2%-13.0%]). Substantial geographic variation was observed; SSB consumption ranged from 8.6% (95% CI: 6.4%-11.3%) in Vermont to 33.7% (95% CI: 28.9%-38.8%) in Mississippi. In multivariable models, children from households with a lower IPR (<130% compared with ≥350%) had significantly higher SSB consumption for most states, although the magnitude of this association differed by state.
conclusionsTo reduce SSB consumption among young children, findings highlight the need for potential interventions tailored to the needs of those residing in low-income households.
