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/

objectivesThis protocol describes a study to investigate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a novel Teaching Kitchen Multisite Trial (TK-MT) for adults with cardiometabolic abnormalities. The TK-MT protocol describes a hybrid lifestyle intervention combining in-person and virtual instruction in culinary skills, nutrition education, movement, and mindfulness with community support and behavior change strategies. This 18-month-long randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a 12-month, 24 class program, assess preliminary study efficacy, and identify barriers and facilitators to implementation.

methodsThe intervention program includes 16 weeks of intensive hands-on culinary and lifestyle education classes followed by eight monthly virtual classes. Psychometric assessments and biometric data will be collected at baseline, 4, 12, and 18 months. Semi-structured interviews and open-ended surveys will be conducted during the 12-month follow-up assessment.

resultsFeasibility will be assessed through recruitment, attendance, and fidelity data. Secondary outcomes will analyze changes in health behaviors, biometric data, and anthropometric measures using mixed-effects regression models. Qualitative data will undergo thematic analysis.

conclusionsAs envisioned and described in detail in this manuscript, this study will inform the development and implementation of reproducible, scalable teaching kitchen interventions. The protocol described here is intended to set the stage for future investigations to evaluate evidence for the impact of teaching kitchen interventions on dietary habits, physical activity, and overall health and well-being.
