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

backgroundNutrigenetics explores how genetic variations influence an individual's responses to nutrients, enabling personalized nutrition. As dietary supplements gain popularity, understanding genetic factors in their metabolism and effectiveness is crucial for optimal health outcomes. This study examines the role of genetic differences in the metabolism and effects of nutraceuticals, underscoring the significance of personalized nutrition within precision health. It aims to reveal how individual genetic profiles influence responses to dietary supplements, highlighting the value of nutrigenetics in optimizing health interventions. The study explores how genetic variations affect the absorption and effects of nutraceuticals, focusing on personalized supplement choices based on nutrigenetics.

methodsSixteen patients from an Epigenetic Coaching clinic who were using supplements such as quercetin, curcumin, green tea, and sulforaphane and reporting side effects were studied. Their clinical outcomes were analyzed in relation to their supplement choices and genetic backgrounds. The study involved five women and 11 men, including eight with autism and others with conditions like Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) disease and joint pain.

resultsIn the study, it was observed that removing sulforaphane and sulfur-rich supplements from the diet of five patients reduced agitation. Removing sulforaphane and sulfur-rich supplements from the diet of four patients reduced clinical symptoms. Green tea caused discomfort in two patients. Responses to quercetin showed clinical differences in two patients. Anxiety and hyperactivity increased in three patients who took curcumin. Conclusion This study highlights the importance of considering individual genetic profiles when recommending dietary supplements. The findings suggest that personalized nutrition, guided by nutrigenetic insights, can enhance the efficacy and safety of nutraceutical interventions. Tailoring supplement choices based on genetic information can lead to better health outcomes and reduced adverse effects, emphasizing the need for integrating genetic testing into nutritional planning and healthcare practices.
