Breaking Bread, Breaking Barriers: Qualitative Insights into Support and Challenges in Culinary Medicine and Medical Nutrition Therapy Delivery for Diabetes Management.
Article in American journal of health promotion : AJHP, 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
PurposeThis study explores patient experience in dietary behavior change after nutrition and culinary medicine interventions.DesignThe qualitative study uses in-depth, semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis.SettingResearchers collected participant feedback after nutrition interventions in an urban, safety-net health clinic.SubjectsTwenty-six adults with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes participated in nutrition or culinary medicine interventions and follow-up interviews.MethodStudy team members completed phone interviews focused on understanding support, challenges, and barriers during nutrition interventions for dietary change. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded using NVivo software. Data analysis based on size and distribution of code applications led to thematic content and patterns of experience.ResultsTwo key lessons emerged: (1) Participants valued practical nutrition, culinary, and technical support from the nutrition and research team members. Participants appreciated how team members alleviated doubts and filled knowledge gaps through non-judgmental listening and motivation that emphasized flexibility. (2) Participants valued personalized support to overcome barriers and challenges engaging in nutrition education and dietary change. Barriers included food costs, childcare, technology, and competing health demands, and some of these could be overcome with tailored support.ConclusionIntegrating medical nutrition therapy and culinary medicine alongside food access resources may address upstream determinants of diet-sensitive disease. Programs that emphasize social connection and support, cultural relevance, and flexibility may be especially effective in safety-net settings.
