Assessing Cultural Competence and Cultural Responsiveness of Healthcare Services That Promote Early Prevention of Childhood Obesity: A 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
backgroundEarly childhood is a critical period to prevent future poor health outcomes. The modification of health behaviors in the first 2000 days of life is particularly crucial. Yet, obesity is increasingly prevalent in children from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, demonstrating a need to provide culturally-tailored care to this population.
aimsTo understand the extent of literature that explores cultural competence and responsiveness of preventive healthcare services delivered to culturally and linguistically diverse families (CALD) in the first 2000 days and to identify gaps in the literature and key characteristics and outcomes in these studies that are associated with culturally competent and responsive healthcare.
methodsA search strategy was developed, and five databases were searched. Title and abstract screening, full-text screening, data extraction, and quality appraisal were performed by two or more independent reviewers.
resultsA total of 28 included studies identified bilingual facilitators, language-modified materials, and educational resources as key characteristics associated with culturally competent care. Improved breastfeeding practices and increased engagement with healthcare services were identified as key outcomes. Studies involving healthcare cultural competence training were associated with significant changes in outcomes.
conclusionMany characteristics and health outcomes associated with culturally competent and responsive care were identified in this review. However, preventive health services delivered to CALD families are still an area of research and practice that is lacking cultural competence. A multidisciplinary and community-centered approach is needed to improve health services delivered to CALD families and address persistent barriers to healthcare.
