Relationship between HECTD4 gene variants, obesity, and coffee consumption.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIn genome-wide association studies, the HECT domain E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase 4 (HECTD4) gene was suggested to be associated with obesity-related traits and coffee consumption. However, the association of genetic variants between coffee consumption and obesity has not been tested in Koreans. Therefore, we investigated whether HECTD4 gene variants act as effect modifiers on the relationship between obesity and coffee.
methodsThis study analyzed the correlation between coffee consumption and obesity among 58,698 individuals representing the Health Examinees. Participants were categorized into obese (BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m
resultsWe identified four HECTD4 gene variants associated with obesity-related traits and coffee consumption based on Bonferroni-corrected significance level (p < 0.00014). Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that the impact of coffee consumption on obesity differed based on the HECTD4 rs2074356 genotypes. A positive correlation between obesity and coffee consumption was observed, with a more pronounced effect in individuals with the G allele (OR = 1.61 for 1 to <2 cups/day, p = 1.89 × 10
conclusionOur findings suggest that the influence of coffee consumption on obesity may vary in Koreans depending on the HECTD4 gene variant.
