Care preferences of older migrants and minority ethnic groups with various care needs: A scoping review.
Article in PloS one, 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
backgroundOlder migrants and people from minority ethnic groups face unique challenges in accessing healthcare. Various factors often lead to lower healthcare utilization and hinder person-centered care. However, little is known about the various care preferences of these people, and no systematic overview of their care preferences has been conducted.
methodsWe conducted a scoping review in accordance with the description provided by the Joanna Briggs Institute. We searched the MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Library databases and extracted data from the included publications. We subsequently identified and analyzed the care preferences of older migrants and minority ethnic groups (people aged 60 years or older with various care needs) via inductive content analysis in an iterative process.
resultsInitially, 2756 records were identified through our electronic database search. After duplicate removal, 1924 records were screened for relevance. A total of 173 reports remained for full-text screening. A total of 50 studies published from 1985-2024 were included in the review. Our analysis of these articles revealed descriptive themes that were grouped into four main categories: I) care practice; II) professionals; III) living with others; and IV) environment. These main categories were further divided into 16 subcategories that captured the identified preferences.
conclusionOur research yielded two key findings. First, preferences related to care are as heterogeneous as the people receiving care. Second, people with dementia and a history of migration and their preferences in the nursing context, have been underrepresented in healthcare research. To bridge this knowledge gap, future research should prioritize understudied populations. By examining these groups, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted individual experiences of older migrants and people from minority ethnic groups.
