Cancer beliefs, risk perceptions, and health protective behaviors among people living with diabetes in the United States: Results from the Health Information National Trends Survey.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Objective: Diabetes and cancer share common preventable risk factors, including obesity, physical inactivity, and poor diet. People with diabetes have an increased risk of developing cancer. The objective of our study was to compare cancer risk perceptions, beliefs about cancer, and cancer protective behaviors among people with and without diabetes in the United States. Methods: We utilized data from the cross-sectional nationally representative Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) 6 (2022). Diabetes and cancer history were self-reported. We compared beliefs about cancer and cancer protective behaviors between individuals with and without diabetes who reported no cancer history. Results: The sample included 3937 individuals. There was no significant difference in beliefs about cancer (worry, risk, preventability, fatality, or prevention progress) and cancer protective behaviors (smoking, drinking, physical activity, and cancer information seeking) between individuals with diabetes and those without diabetes after adjustment. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the need for further research to enhance understanding and improve awareness of cancer risk and protective behaviors among people living with diabetes.
