Quality of Psychiatric Care for Immigrants and People With a Non-English Language Preference: A Systematic Scoping Review.

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
objectiveImmigrants and persons with a non-English language preference (NELP) face unique challenges in the mental health care system. This systematic scoping review aimed to evaluate the literature for disparities in psychiatric care delivery, beyond access and utilization barriers, experienced by these two populations.
methodsThe authors queried four databases: PubMed, PsycInfo, Web of Science, and CINAHL. Studies published between August 1993 and August 2023 were selected if they had a population that included immigrants to English-language countries or patients with a NELP and a mental illness, had a relevant comparison group, and included outcome measures focused on quality of psychiatric care delivery. Studies focusing solely on care access or utilization, studies without original data, case reports, and commentaries were excluded.
resultsThe search identified 2,860 studies. Seventeen studies were included for full-text review (Cohen's κ
conclusionsMany studies highlighted differences in care, especially with regard to involuntary hospitalization. Outcome measures varied and deviated from established quality metrics. Insufficient data were available to determine whether the identified differences in care represent a care delivery gap. Studies that use standardized measures would assist in evaluating the quality of care received by immigrants and patients with a NELP.
