Perceived risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus: predictors of perceived susceptibility among young adults in Jordan.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Objectives: The growing burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus among young adults is a global public health problem. This study aimed to explore risk perception of type 2 diabetes mellitus among university students in Jordan and to identify predictors of perceived susceptibility. Methods: A cross-sectional study that used proportional stratified sampling to recruit 496 third year university students in all fields of study at the University of Jordan. Participants answered online self-administered validated Arabic questionnaire that was designed based on the constructs of the health belief model. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Results: The participants in this study evidently underestimated their risk of developing T2DM. Only 25% of students believed that they have high potential of developing T2DM in the future. Perceived susceptibility was low to moderate; it scored lowest among all dimensions of risk perception (mean = 2.86 out of 5). Results of Conclusion: Results of this study highlight the need for health system governance to commit to integrate national efforts to design culturally sensitive interventions to raise awareness about the risk of T2DM in Jordan, especially among young adult population.
