FTO rs9939609 genotype and behavioral determinants of Mediterranean diet adherence in young women: exploratory insights into potential metabolic relevance.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Introduction: Metabolic disorders such as obesity and insulin resistance result from complex interactions between genetic, behavioral, and dietary factors. The fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene has been repeatedly linked to impaired appetite control and higher obesity risk, yet the moderating role of functional dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean diet remain unclear. Rich in bioactive compounds and metabolic benefits, this diet offers a model for studying gene-diet interactions in metabolic health. Objectives: This pilot investigation aimed to provide an integrative perspective linking the FTO rs9939609 genotype with eating-related emotions, habitual behavior, and adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet in women with different body weight profiles. Methods: This pilot study examined associations between the FTO rs9939609 genotype, eating behaviors, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet among 46 women aged 18-35 years (normal weight: Results: Women with overweight or obesity showed higher BMI ( Conclusion: Adherence to the Mediterranean diet, a functional dietary pattern rich in polyphenols, fiber, and unsaturated fats, may interact with genetic predispositions related to obesity risk. These exploratory findings suggest that dietary context may shape behavioral tendencies in FTO risk-allele carriers, although confirmation in larger samples is required.
