Peer-led plant-based cooking workshops for post-cancer patients: an observational pilot study on dietary practices.

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
purposeThis study aimed to assess the impact of peer-led cooking workshops on dietary knowledge, skills, and behavioral changes in adopting protein-rich cereals such as spelt, emmer, and einkorn among post-treatment cancer patients. It addressed barriers to sustainable dietary practices, contributing to improved well-being and alignment with the planetary health diet (PHD).
methodsThis cohort observational study, part of the BIOQUALIM protocol, adhered to STROBE guidelines and evaluated six post-cancer patients attending six bi-weekly, 2-h cooking workshops at Lyon Sud Hospital, France, between March and June 2024. Workshops focused on savory and sweet recipes using protein-rich cereals (spelt, einkorn, and emmer). Data were collected and analyzed following Kirkpatrick's four-level model using pre- and post-workshop questionnaires (Wilcoxon test analysis) and semi-structured interviews (thematic analysis).
resultsParticipants demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge of protein-rich cereals (mean score improvement from 1.9 to 4.0, p = 0.035) and a non-significant improvement in their skills (from 2.5 to 4.1, p = 0.063). Participants reported improved digestion, well-being, and increased confidence in adopting such plant-based diets. The thematic analysis showed that group dynamics fostered social support and self-efficacy. Obstacles such as ingredient availability and preparation time were identified.
conclusionPeer-led cooking workshops effectively promote dietary knowledge, sustainable practices, and well-being in post-cancer patients, aligning with PHD principles. This intervention demonstrates potential as a scalable approach for integrating sustainable and health-promoting dietary behaviors. Further research with larger, diverse samples is needed to enhance generalizability and long-term impact assessment.
