A scoping review of barriers to accessing aged care services for older adults from culturally and linguistically diverse communities in Australia.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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 ageing population of the culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) population is increasing in Australia. This is because the number of early migrants in Australia is ageing, coupled with increasing family reunification. This scoping review aimed to describe the nature and extent of research on the barriers to aged care services for CALD older adults in Australia using Penchansky and Thomas's Access to Care Framework of five A's dimensions: availability, accessibility, accommodation, affordability, and acceptability. Arksey and O'Malley's five-step scoping review framework was adopted to search 6 databases from inception till August 2024. Title/abstract and full-text screening were conducted using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, with supplementary search of references from included articles to identify additional articles. Findings show that while all the five A's of access to care services were barriers for CALD older adults, accommodation and acceptability of services were the major areas of concern due to the lack of cultural sensitivity of such services in Australia. An additional barrier captured and termed as Awareness was noted in some of the included studies, highlighting the need to expand the five A's to 6 A's. Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on ageing could leverage these findings to improve cultural practice sensitivities when supporting these populations.
