Knowledge and awareness of insulin resistance among social media users: A cross-sectional study in Jordan.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundInsulin resistance (IR) is a growing public health concern associated with various metabolic disorders. Social media platforms have emerged as major sources of health information, yet their impact on public knowledge and behaviors related to IR remains unclear. This study evaluated the knowledge and awareness of IR among social media users and examined how social media influences health behaviors related to IR. MATERIALS AND
methodsA survey-based cross-sectional study was conducted between September and November 2024 across the Jordanian public. Participants were selected through convenience sampling, and completed questionnaires assessing demographics, medical history, IR knowledge, and the impact of social media on health behaviors.
resultsAmong the 730 participants, the mean age was 31 years, with 60.5% being females. Most participants (71.1%) sought health information online, while 21.5% relied on social media. A significant proportion (77.5%) reported changing health behaviors due to social media, particularly in diet (66.8%) and exercise (56.4%). However, only 41% agreed that social media positively influenced their IR awareness. Social media use was not significantly associated with IR knowledge (
conclusionSocial media influenced health behaviors but had limited impact on improving IR knowledge compared to traditional healthcare sources. Social media shows potential as a public health tool, but the quality and reliability of information must be carefully managed to enhance awareness and reduce misinformation. Healthcare policymakers and educators should collaborate with credible health influencers to ensure sustainable healthy behavioral changes.
