Global burden of high sugar-sweetened beverage consumption among young adults.

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 AND
aimsHigh sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption is a growing public health concern linked to obesity and chronic diseases. This study analyzed global trends and disparities in high SSB consumption among young adults aged 15–39 years from 1990 to 2021, using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021. METHODS AND
resultsHigh SSB consumption was defined as intake of beverages with ≥ 50 kcal per 226.8-gram serving, excluding 100% fruit and vegetable juices. We calculated the prevalence and estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) to track temporal trends and identify significant shifts. The global prevalence of high SSB consumption among young adults increased from 6.58% in 1990 to 11.13% in 2021. Females consistently exhibited a higher prevalence compared to males. In 2021, high SDI countries had the highest prevalence (30.83%), while low SDI countries had the lowest prevalence (2.91%). High-middle SDI countries experienced the fastest increase in SSB consumption, with an EAPC of 2.99%. A strong positive correlation was found between national SDI and SSB prevalence in 2021 (ρ = 0.78, p < 2.2e-16).
conclusionRising global SSB consumption among young adults highlights the need for targeted public health interventions, especially considering disparities across gender, SDI levels, and regions.
