Psychological predictors of diabetic ketoacidosis in children: Health belief model-based case-control study.
Article in World journal of diabetes, 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
backgroundDiabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) remains a serious and potentially preventable complication among children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), particularly in Saudi Arabia. Psychological constructs such as perceived severity and susceptibility influence health behaviour, yet their role in pediatric diabetes management remains underexplored.
aimTo examine psychological predictors of DKA in children with T1DM using the health belief model, and to assess the role of caregiver-perceived understanding in influencing adherence and DKA occurrence.
methodsA case-control study was conducted at Prince Sultan Military Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, involving 191 caregivers of children with T1DM (96 cases with a history of DKA and 95 controls without). Validated questionnaires measured perceived severity, susceptibility, understanding, and adherence. Statistical analyses included independent
resultsPerceived understanding was the strongest predictor of adherence (β = 1.03,
conclusionCaregiver-perceived understanding plays a critical role in adherence and DKA prevention. These findings support expanding the health belief model to include perceived understanding as a distinct construct and highlight the importance of integrating comprehension-focused strategies into pediatric diabetes education.
