Outcomes of Cooking Matters for Diabetes: A 6-week Randomized, Controlled Cooking and Diabetes Self-Management Education Intervention.
Trial report in Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDiabetes self-management education and support is the cornerstone of diabetes care, yet only 1 in 2 adults with diabetes attain hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) targets. Food insecurity makes diabetes management and HbA1c control more difficult.
objectiveOur aim was to test whether a cooking intervention with food provision and diabetes self-management education and support improves HbA1c and diabetes management.
designThis was a waitlist-controlled, randomized trial. PARTICIPANTS/
settingParticipants were 48 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
interventionCooking Matters for Diabetes was adapted from Cooking Matters and the American Diabetes Association diabetes self-management education and support intervention into a 6-week program with weekly food provision (4 servings).
main outcome measuresSurveys (ie, Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities; Medical Outcomes Study Short Form Health Survey, version 1; Diet History Questionnaire III; 10-item US Adult Food Security Survey Module; and Stanford Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale) were administered and HbA1c was measured at baseline, post intervention, and 3-month follow-up. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Mixed-effects linear regression models controlling for sex and study wave were used.
resultsMean (SD) age of participants was 57 (12) years; 65% identified as female, 52% identified as White, 40% identified as Black, and 19 (40%) were food insecure at baseline. Intervention participants improved Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities general diet score (0 to 7 scale) immediately post intervention (+1.51; P = .015) and 3 months post intervention (+1.23; P = .05), and improved Medical Outcomes Study Short Form Health Survey, version 1, mental component score (+6.7 points; P = .025) compared with controls. Healthy Eating Index 2015 total vegetable component score improved at 3 months (+0.917; P = .023) compared with controls. At baseline, food insecure participants had lower self-efficacy (5.6 vs 6.9 Stanford Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale; P = .002) and higher HbA1c (+0.77; P = .025), and demonstrated greater improvements in both post intervention (+1.2 vs +0.4 Stanford Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale score; P = .002, and -0.12 vs +0.39 HbA1c; P = .25) compared with food secure participants.
conclusionsCooking Matters for Diabetes may be an effective method of improving diet-related self-care and health-related quality of life, especially among food insecure patients, and should be tested in larger randomized controlled trials.
