Natural Sweetness and Bioactivity: The Cardiovascular Promise of Fruits.
Review in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Their prevalence is expected to rise with demographic shifts and increasing obesity rates. Excessive sugar consumption, especially from added sugars and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), is a major modifiable risk factor of CVDs. It contributes to obesity, metabolic disorders, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. High-sugar diets affect metabolic and cardiovascular health. They also contribute to neurobehavioral dysfunction by influencing the brain's reward pathways, promoting hedonic eating, and reinforcing dependence on sweet taste. Fruits, a natural source of sweet-tasting compounds, are widely considered healthier than processed sweets. Epidemiological evidence shows a protective link between fruit consumption and lower risk of acute cardiovascular events like stroke and coronary heart disease. This benefit is largely due to bioactive compounds in fruits, such as fiber, polyphenols, and micronutrients. Based on current evidence, fruits can satisfy sweet cravings. In this paper, we will discuss the potential of fruits as an alternative to added sugars, emphasizing their beneficial effects on metabolic and cardiovascular health.
