Racial and Ethnic Differences in Perceived Diabetes Risk and Reasons for Perceived Risk: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2025. 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
backgroundGiven rising diabetes prevalence in the USA, especially among minoritized communities, it is critical to understand perception of diabetes risk and risk factors in the general population and in subpopulations known to be at increased risk for diabetes.
objectiveWe aimed to describe overall and cause-specific perceived diabetes risk, especially racial and ethnic differences in perceived risk.
designCross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2011 to 2018, during which years the survey asked participants whether they believed they were at risk for diabetes, and if so, for what reason(s).
participantsAdult participants in the NHANES without diagnosed diabetes. MAIN MEASURES: Self-reported race or ethnicity, as well as educational attainment and glycemic status, was examined as primary exposures. The primary outcomes examined were rates of overall and cause-specific perceived diabetes risk, in strata of race or ethnicity and either educational attainment or glycemic status. KEY
resultsCompared to non-Hispanic White (NHW) participants, perceived diabetes risk was higher among Mexican-American and Other/Multi-Racial participants and lower among non-Hispanic Asian (NHA) participants. Perceived race-related diabetes risk was higher in all minoritized groups. Perceived overall, family history-related, and race-related risk increased with increasing educational attainment among minoritized but not NHW participants, and with knowledge of pre-diabetes status among all groups (24% perceived risk if normoglycemia, 69% if known pre-diabetes). Family history was the most frequently reported cause for perceived diabetes risk in all groups. In adjusted analyses, race and ethnicity were strongly associated with perceived race-related diabetes risk.
conclusionsCompared to NHW individuals, US adults of any other race or ethnicity perceived higher race-related diabetes risk, increasing with educational attainment. Further research is needed to explore the impact of this perceived risk on physical and mental health outcomes and health behaviors.
