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
The influx of migrants to Canada has resulted in a shift in the country's demographic landscape. Individuals often interpret and approach health and wellness through the lens of their cultural heritage, which has led to stereotyping behaviors and discriminatory practices, exacerbating the notion of "Othering". Immigrant older adults are likely to experience discrimination in a more dreadful way in the form of societal isolation and marginalization due to the collective systems of power such as ageism, ableism, and racism. This paper results from continuous thought-provoking discussions initiated by the first author (AM) in her doctoral program at the University of Western Ontario for the Philosophy of Nursing Science course, taught and facilitated by the second author (SM). After studying the course materials on "revolutionary science" and reflection on the process of paradigm shift introduced by Thomas Khun and engaging in critical discussions on a range of relevant philosophical concepts such as bio-power, othering, silencing and ignorance, marginalization, oppression, neoliberalism, health equity, and social justice, we have been prompted to rethink the concept of cultural competence in nursing education and healthcare practices, particularly in the context of nursing care of older adults. Therefore, in this paper, we will critique the concept of cultural competency in the context of an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens and suggest a pivotal response to move towards an inquiry-driven approach based on cultural humility and respect in the nursing care of older adults.
