Artificial Intelligence in Food-Nutrition-Health Research: From Multimodal Data Integration to Precision Intervention.
Review in Journal of food science, 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
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming food-nutrition-health research by enabling pattern recognition in complex, high-dimensional datasets that traditional hypothesis-driven approaches cannot address. This review systematically synthesizes research progress of AI across the food-nutrition-health continuum from 2020 to 2025. By examining 181 systematic reviews through PRISMA-guided selection, we provide a comprehensive overview and prospects across four dimensions: technical foundation, application scenarios, existing challenges, and future prospects. We propose a tripartite framework comprising (1) a data layer enabling multisource fusion of food composition, health monitoring, and individual characteristic data; (2) a technological layer of nondestructive testing (spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance [NMR], imaging); and (3) an algorithmic layer progressing from machine learning to deep learning architecture. Key applications include food component analysis and safety detection; nutrition-disease association modeling; pathogen identification; and personalized dietary intervention systems. Despite rapid progress, critical challenges persist, insufficient model generalization across populations, algorithmic opacity limiting clinical trust, data privacy vulnerabilities, and lack of standardized multi-omics integration protocols. Future directions emphasize multimodal fusion models, explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), federated learning for privacy-preserving collaboration, gene-guided precision nutrition, and development of intelligent wearable devices and functional food. This review provides a roadmap for transitioning from population-averaged guidelines to dynamic, individualized health optimization through AI-enabled food system.
