Comparison of Teaching Methods in a Culinary Medicine Elective for Medical Students: In-Person Lectures Versus Inverted Classroom Model.

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
Background: Since 2020, Culinary Medicine (CM) has been offered as an elective for medical students at several German universities. Recently, innovative teaching models such as the inverted classroom have been introduced. This study investigates whether the inverted classroom model, using online self-learning modules in the CM elective, improves students' nutritional knowledge and counseling skills compared with traditional in-person lectures. Methods: The CM elective consisted of seven modules on dietary principles and disease-specific dietary therapy. The in-person cohort attended traditional lectures, while the inverted classroom cohort completed weekly online self-learning modules covering the same nutrition therapy content. Both groups participated in identical hands-on cooking sessions in teaching kitchens. Teaching effectiveness was assessed using standardized self-assessment questionnaires on counseling competencies, nutrition knowledge, eating habits, and mental well-being (WHO-5), administered before and after the elective. Paired and unpaired Results: The study included 69 students in the inverted classroom and 80 in the in-person cohort. Both formats, when combined with hands-on cooking courses, led to significant improvements in nutritional knowledge, self-reported counseling skills, and practical abilities. No significant differences were observed between the cohorts. Conclusion: The inverted classroom model is as effective as in-person lectures when combined with hands-on cooking courses in a CM curriculum. Institutions can select the format based on local resources without compromising teaching outcomes. This study highlights the advantages and disadvantages of each method, supporting institutions in the development of improved CM curricula.
