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

Background: The escalating global obesity epidemic and the emergence of personalized medicine strategies point to the pressing need to investigate the interplay between genetic risk scores (GRSs), dietary intake, and their combined impact on weight status. This systematic review synthesizes evidence from diverse studies to elucidate how dietary patterns and individual foods interact with genetic predisposition to obesity. Methods: Literature searches were conducted in the PubMed, Embase, Science Direct, and Scopus databases until August 2023, following PRISMA guidelines. Out of 575 articles, 15 articles examining the interaction between genetic risk score for body mass index and dietary intake on weight outcomes met the inclusion criteria. All included studies were cross-sectional in design and were assessed for quality using the Newcastle‒Ottawa Scale. Results: Unhealthy dietary intake exacerbated the genetic predisposition to obesity, evident in studies assessing Western diet, sulfur microbial diet, and individual macronutrients, including saturated fatty acids, sugar-sweetened beverages and fried foods. Conversely, adhering to healthier dietary intake mitigated the genetic predisposition to obesity, as observed in studies involving Alternative Healthy Eating Index, Alternative Mediterranean Diet, Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension scores, healthy plant-based diets, and specific foods such as fruits, vegetables, and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Conclusion: This is the first systematic review to explore the interaction between genetics and dietary intake in shaping obesity outcomes. The findings have implications for tailored interventions; however, more controlled clinical trials with robust designs are needed to be able to recommend personalized nutrition based on nutrition for obesity prevention and management.
