Effects of a health-seeking behavior education program based on motivational interview techniques on health-seeking behaviors, illness self-management, and anxiety in elderly immigrant women: a randomized controlled study.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Whether voluntary or forced, migration always affects those who migrate. Migrants experience the negative effects of migration more severely if they are older, chronic patients, or women. If a group of migrants possess all these vulnerabilities, they need more assistance and healthcare. Objective: This study was carried out to investigate the effects of a health-seeking behavior education program based on motivational interview techniques on health-seeking behaviors, illness self-management, and anxiety in elderly migrant women. Material and method: This study was conducted with a randomized controlled experimental design involving an experimental group ( Results: Before the intervention (pretest), no significant differences were found between the groups in health-seeking behaviors, health anxiety, or chronic illness self-management ( Discussion and conclusion: The study highlights that migration negatively affects health-seeking behaviors, especially in elderly migrant women. However, the health-seeking behavior education program based on motivational interviewing techniques proved to be effective in improving these behaviors, illness self-management, and reducing anxiety. This suggests the need for targeted interventions to support vulnerable migrant populations.
