Association Between Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption and Psychological Distress: Analysis of the Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan.
Article in Nutrients, 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
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the association between sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption and psychological distress.
designThis study used a cross-sectional design.
settingThe database from the 2013-2016 Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan (NAHSIT) was used for this study.
participantsThere are 3787 Taiwanese adults aged 19-64 in the NAHSIT database. MEASUREMENTS: The simplified food frequency questionnaire was used to assess the frequency of SSB intake, and a 24 h dietary recall was used for nutrient calculations. Subsequently, a logistic regression model was used to examine the association between the frequency of SSB consumption and psychological distress.
resultThe risk of psychological distress with SSBs consumed 1-6, 7-13, and ≥14 times per week was (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.50-2.04), (aOR = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.32-1.84), and (aOR = 1.99, 95% CI = 1.64-2.42), respectively. Participants who consumed SSBs ≥14 times per week had a significantly lower intake of whole grains, milk, vegetables, fruits, and nuts and seeds, while their consumption frequency of eggs, dairy products, soybean products, pickled vegetables, meat products, tea, coffee, desserts and snacks, and fried foods was significantly higher.
conclusionsSSB consumption was significantly positively associated with psychological distress. Future interventional studies could further explore the potential directionality of this association.
