Associations between beverage consumption patterns and adiposity and urinary biomarkers among young adults: a multicenter cross-sectional study in China.

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: Beverage consumption is a common dietary behavior that may be associated with adiposity and urinary biomarker profiles, yet population-based evidence in young adults remains limited. This study aimed to examine associations between beverage consumption patterns and adiposity indicators and urinary biomarkers among young adults in China. Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional study included 3,198 university students aged 18-25 years from seven geographic regions in China. Daily fluid intake (DFI) was assessed using a validated 7-day fluid intake diary with calibrated cups. Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) and urinary biomarkers (creatinine, uric acid, uric acid-to-creatinine ratio, and urea) were obtained. Multivariable regression models adjusted for predefined covariates were used to evaluate associations. Results: Plain water contributed the largest proportion of DFI (83.9%), followed by sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), with substantial regional variation in beverage consumption patterns. Higher plain water intake was positively associated with BMI (β = 0.06, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.10, Conclusion: Beverage consumption patterns were associated with adiposity indicators and urinary biomarker profiles among Chinese university students, and these associations differed according to beverage type.
