Culinary Medicine for CKD.
Review in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN, 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
Culinary medicine is an emerging, evidence-based discipline that integrates medical and nutritional care with practical culinary strategies to mitigate the risk and progression of CKD. Culinary medicine, which falls under the broader movement of Food is Medicine, supports culturally relevant, person-centered health care goals. It addresses strategies to overcome the health risks of the standard American diet, high in animal protein, salt, sugar, and ultraprocessed foods. Recent guidelines, including the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative Clinical Practice Guidelines for Nutrition in CKD 2020 and Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for Evaluation and Management of CKD, recommend adoption of plant-rich eating patterns, on the basis of the large body of evidence highlighting benefits such as reduced net acid production, lower body weight, and improved BP. Transition to a kidney-friendly eating pattern is often hindered by barriers, such as time, budget, and culinary skills. This innovative field uses food as a preventive and therapeutic tool to overcome barriers to the actionable food choices needed for better health. The aim of this article was to ( 1 ) underscore the role of culinary medicine in lifestyle intervention to improve CKD outcomes and ( 2 ) explore practical implementation of culinary medicine in CKD management to optimize patient well-being. While direct, large-scale clinical trials specifically on culinary medicine in CKD are still emerging, the synergy of nutritional evidence and experiential strategies points to its promise as a preventive and therapeutic tool for improving CKD outcomes. Increasing awareness of the existence and effectiveness of culinary medicine within the nephrology community can foster meaningful discussions about impactful lifestyle changes that influence patient outcomes.
