Knowledge, Attitudes, and Reported Practices Regarding Prediabetes Among Hypertensive Patients With Abdominal Obesity: A Cross-Sectional Structural Equation Modeling Analysis.
Article in Journal of diabetes research, 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
backgroundWe assessed prediabetes-related knowledge, attitudes, and reported practices among adults with hypertension and abdominal obesity and examined whether their associations were compatible with a hypothesized KAP structure.
methodsThis cross-sectional questionnaire survey included 446 adults recruited from April to June 2025. A revision-stage coding audit corrected P5 scoring. Because P4 and P6 had near-zero, nonsignificant loadings, the primary practice construct comprised P1, P2, P3, and P5; full-item models were retained as sensitivity analyses. Spearman correlations and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used.
resultsMean knowledge, attitude, and four-item practice scores were 8.90 ± 2.14, 37.31 ± 3.68, and 10.75 ± 2.38. Correlations were 0.160 for knowledge-attitude, 0.173 for knowledge-practice, and 0.146 for attitude-practice (all p ≤ 0.002). The primary SEM showed acceptable fit (CMIN/DF = 2.127, RMSEA = 0.050, CFI = 0.925). Knowledge was associated with attitude (β = 0.160, p = 0.012), and attitude with practice (β = 0.281, p = 0.004); the direct knowledge-practice path was nonsignificant (β = 0.069, p = 0.402). The model-based indirect association was 0.045 (95% CI 0.016-0.091; p = 0.004). Practice showed weak convergent reliability (AVE = 0.199; CR = 0.464), and attitude responses had marked ceiling effects.
conclusionsThe findings suggest modest cross-sectional associations among KAP domains and are compatible with the hypothesized structure but do not establish temporal ordering or mediation. Longitudinal studies using validated instruments and objective glycemic assessment are needed.
