Warning Labels for Nonnutritive Sweeteners: A Randomized Controlled Trial with Chilean Parents.
Article in Current developments in nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
Background: In Chile, added sugar warning labels prompted product reformulation with nonnutritive sweeteners (NNS). Some countries have since adopted NNS labels to discourage this industry response, but evidence of their effects on consumer behavior is limited. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the impact of 2 types of NNS labels on Chilean parents' NNS-containing product identification, product choices for their children, and product perceptions. Methods: In 2025, 3523 Chilean parents (children age 2-14 y) were randomly assigned to either no NNS label (control), a child-focused NNS warning ("CONTAINS NON-NUTRITIVE SWEETENERS, AVOID CONSUMPTION AMONG CHILDREN"), or an NNS disclosure ("CONTAINS NON-NUTRITIVE SWEETENERS"). Participants viewed sets of 4 products (one without added sweeteners and others with sugar, NNS, or both) and identified NNS-containing products, selected one product for their child, and, afterward, recalled labels seen. Next, participants viewed NNS-containing products and rated labels' perceived message effectiveness (PME), products' perceived healthfulness, and intentions to limit children's NNS intake. Average differential effects (ADEs) are reported in percentage points (pp) or 1 to 5 scales. Results: Both the child-focused NNS warning and NNS disclosure led to higher correct identification of NNS-containing products (ADE = 67 pp; ADE = 69 pp, both Conclusions: Both NNS labels improved parents' NNS-containing product identification and encouraged choice of products without added sugar or NNS for their children.This trial was registered at the clinicaltrials.gov as NCT06842693. https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06842693.
