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

purposeThis study assessed the associations between the consumption of sugar- (SSBs) and artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) and body weight from childhood through adolescence. Moreover, we examined the relationship between childhood weight status and the joint associations between SSBs and ASBs and weight status on eating disorders (ED) symptoms in early adulthood.

methodsThis study used the Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC) at the 11- and 18-year follow-up (DNBC-11 and DNBC-18). At age 11, children reported their consumption of SSBs and ASBs. Body weight was assessed using BMI based on information from DNBC-11 and DNBC-18. ED were derived from self-reported symptoms and national health registers. Multivariable logistic regression models were used.

resultsChildren with a higher consumption of SSBs and ASBs at age 11 had higher odds of overweight or obesity at age 11 (OR: 1.43, 95%CI 1.24–1.64) and age 18 (OR: 1.20, 95%CI 1.00–1.43). Children with overweight (OR: 1.36, 95%CI 1.08–1.70) and obesity (OR: 2.08, 95%CI 1.09–3.97) at age 11 had higher odds of ED symptoms at age 18. Children with overweight or obesity who consumed SSBs and ASBs below and above the median at age 11 had higher odds of ED symptoms at age 18 than those with underweight or normal weight and a consumption below the median (OR: 1.41, 95%CI 1.04–1.92 and OR: 1.50, 95%CI 1.12–2.00, respectively).

conclusionsSSBs and ASBs consumption during childhood was associated with overweight and obesity in the short- and long-term. Childhood overweight or obesity was also related to later ED symptoms.
