Prevalence and Factors Associated with the Use of Artificial Sweeteners in Nonpregnant, Nonlactating Females of Reproductive Age - A Systematic Review.
Article in Current developments in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Artificial or nonnutritive sweeteners (ASs/NNSs) are widely consumed as sugar substitutes globally. Although research often focuses on specific groups such as those with diabetes or pregnant females, nonpregnant, nonlactating females of reproductive age remain understudied despite the significant implications of dietary patterns on females' health. Objectives: This systematic review aims Methods: Following PRISMA reporting guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive search across multiple databases, including the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, CENTRAL, Campbell Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and eLANA (World Health Organization), covering studies up to May 2024. We included observational and experimental studies involving nonpregnant and nonlactating females aged 15 to 49, focusing on AS/NNS consumption and its associated factors. Data extraction was performed in duplicates, and quality assessment was conducted using the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Quality Assessment Tool. Results: This review identified 15 eligible studies. The pooled prevalence of AS/NNS use among females of reproductive age was 37.1% (95% confidence interval: 25.1%, 49.9%; heterogeneity: Conclusion: This review highlights significant AS/NNS consumption among nonpregnant, nonlactating females of reproductive age. The findings underscore the need for further research on the long-term health implications of AS/NNS use in this population.The study was registered with PROSPERO as CRD42023450145.
