Knowledge and Preventive Practices Regarding Diabetes Mellitus Among Non-Diabetic Adults in Kamrup Rural District of Assam: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic condition that is distinguished by abnormally elevated blood glucose levels. AIM AND
objectiveThe aim of this present study is to determine the knowledge and preventive practices regarding diabetes mellitus among non-diabetic adults in Kamrup Rural (R) District of Assam Methodology: Descriptive, cross-sectional design was adopted in the present study to evaluate knowledge and preventive practices regarding diabetes mellitus among non-diabetic adults. The data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Spearman's correlation, Fisher's exact test and Chi-square tests were employed for analyzing the data.
resultsOf the adults surveyed, 52% demonstrated adequate knowledge of diabetes mellitus, 47% had moderately adequate knowledge, and only 1% had inadequate knowledge.. The preventive practices were found to be good in 55% of adults, but 45% showed poor practices. There was a moderate, statistically significant correlation between knowledge and preventive practices regarding diabetes mellitus (Spearman's ρ=0.496, p< 0.001). A significant relation was found between knowledge and age, but no demographic factor was found to relate to practices.
conclusionThe study finally concludes that the evident knowledge-practice gap underscores the necessity of health interventions that go beyond mere education to effectively motivate and allow behavioural change, particularly targeting different demographic groups.
