1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThere is concern about the potential health implications of low-calorie sweetener (LCS) consumption. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and patterns of LCS use among women of reproductive age (WRA) in Australia.

methodsThis cross-sectional study involved a two-stage analysis. First, latent class analyses (LCA) were employed to identify patterns of LCS use. Subsequently, regression analyses were conducted to assess the association between sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics and the two outcomes: (1) self-reported LCS use, and (2) the identified LCS consumption patterns/classes.

resultsA total of 405 WRA completed the survey (mean age 32.0 ± 8.6 years, mean BMI 28.71 ± 11.1 kg/m

conclusionsThis study highlights the widespread use of LCS among WRA in Australia, with distinct consumption patterns influenced by cultural, health-related, and socioeconomic factors. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to promote healthy eating practices within this population.
