Cost Analysis of Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating a Multi-Disciplinary Teaching Kitchen.
Article in American journal of lifestyle medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionTeaching kitchens have emerged as strategies to deliver lifestyle medicine principles and practices. However, a better understanding of their implementation, delivery cost, and potential benefits are needed. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the costs associated with the development, deployment, and evaluation of the Emory Healthy Kitchen Collaborative (EHKC) teaching kitchen clinical trial.
methodsThe actual number of hours spent and costs incurred to develop and deploy the EHKC teaching kitchen were recorded and broadly categorized into 1 of 4 areas: program development, course delivery, research, and optional enhancements. Costs of each item were assigned as fixed or variable, enabling calculation of the marginal per participant program cost.
resultsTotal costs were US$123,898, with 3/4 incurred for program development, research, and optional enhancements. Delivery of the course alone (not including program development costs, research, or any optional enhancements) cost US$30,194. The total cost per participant for the course was US$755, with a marginal participant cost of US$141.
conclusionTeaching kitchens represent viable options to deliver lifestyle medicine interventions. However, more research and cost analyses are needed to better understand the value teaching kitchens provide to determine if they are an effective and economical way to deliver lifestyle medicine.
