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 AND

objectivesThe convergence of genomic science and culinary arts has led to a new paradigm in wellness tourism: nutrigenomic retreats. These programs merge genetic insights with tailored diets, immersive culinary education, and holistic wellness practices. While nutrigenomics and personalized nutrition are advancing rapidly, translation of gene-diet knowledge into structured, real-world experiential models remains underexplored. This paper proposes a conceptual and translational framework for nutrigenomic retreats, integrating scientific advances in personalized nutrition with gastronomy-driven wellness experiences. METHODS AND STUDY

designA narrative review of peer-reviewed literature was conducted, focusing on nutrigenomics, culinary medicine, functional foods, and wellness tourism. Insights from nutritional genomics databases and publicly available transcriptomic resources are used illustratively to highlight gene-diet interactions relevant to retreat settings. Conceptual models, including retreat agendas, gene-informed dietary personalization, and culinary education formats, are presented.

resultsNutrigenomic retreats are proposed as a multidisciplinary platform for health optimization by combining: interpretation of common genetic variants associated with nutrient metabolism and dietary response (e.g., FTO, MTHFR, CYP1A2); personalized menus aligned with gene-diet interactions; culinary instruction emphasizing nutrient-dense, culturally diverse, functional foods; and complementary wellness interventions such as mindfulness, physical activity, and biofeed-back. These illustrative elements may enhance scientific literacy, empowering participants to better understand individual nutritional variability and adopt sustainable health behaviors.

conclusionsNutrigenomic retreats represent a novel fusion of science, culinary innovation, and wellness culture. As interest in personalized health continues to expand, this model may offer an experiential pathway for preventive health education and functional gastronomy, while fostering public engagement with genomics.
