FIGURE 1. — Summary of evidence search and selection. *Full-text articles of included studies in published systematic reviews and meta-analyses investigating effects of free fructose on body weight (27), uric acid (28), glycemic effects (29), blood pressure (30), and blood lipids (31) for our outcomes of interest. ^†Main rejection reasons were as follows: no exposures of interest (38 articles), no outcomes of interest (13 articles), fructose amount in the interventions cannot be quantified (8 articles), review article or letter to the editor (8 articles), liver cirrhosis patients (6 articles), animal study (1 article), alcoholic fatty liver disease (1 article), and not relevant (2 articles). **Two studies investigated both pure fructose and sucrose.
