Ancestry specific polygenic risk score, dietary patterns, physical activity and incident type 2 diabetes.
Article in Human genomics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIt is unknown whether the impact of lifestyle could mitigate the genetically driven high-risk polygenic risk score (PRS) in different ancestries.
objectivesWe determined associations and interactions between high-risk PRS, dietary patterns, physical activity, and metabolic burden and their impact on incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in European Americans and African Americans. A secondary aim determined ancestry-specific PRS-mapped genes associated molecular pathways.
methodsOur longitudinal study (1976-2015) utilized de-identified data for European American (n = 8,283) and African American (n = 1,205) from 7-National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Candidate Gene Association Resource studies from the Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes. We assessed results using biased-corrected odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsAfrican Americans had a higher magnitude of incident T2DM risk for the high-risk PRS alone (OR = 1.61; 95% CI:1.22-2.12) than European Americans (OR = 1.24; 95% CI:1.06-1.45) in highest tertile compared to lowest tertile. We observed protective risks from incident T2DM with the Dietary Approaches to Stop High Blood Pressure (DASH) and Mediterranean diets (p < 0.025). However, entangling effects from the high-quality DASH/Mediterranean diets with the low-quality Southern diet and the high-risk PRS further increased T2DM risks (p < 0.025). The PRS-diet-physical activity associations had 9% protective T2DM risk for Mediterranean diet in African Americans and at least 5% for European Americans (p < 0.025). Interactions revealed the second tertile DASH and highest tertile Mediterranean diets in high-risk PRS-high metabolic burden, attenuated incident T2DM risk. Gene enrichment molecular pathways common to ancestries included neurogenerative diseases, lipid metabolism, and glucose metabolism.
conclusionsPatients in the highest PRS tertiles with high metabolic burden could be targeted for early intervention to decrease T2DM risk. The DASH and Mediterranean diets with high physical activity should be recommended by clinicians for better prevention, detrimental molecular pathway reversal, and to decrease worsening of T2DM from high metabolic burden.
