Identifying research priorities for pregnant South Asian immigrants in Canada: A James Lind Alliance approach.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPregnant South Asian immigrants (PSAI) make up a significant portion of immigrants to Canada and face a higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes compared to other ethnic groups. This disparity is largely due to cultural and linguistic barriers to maternity care, including language difficulties, limited cultural sensitivity in healthcare services, and a lack of awareness about culturally tailored educational resources. Despite the growing number of PSAI in Canada, there is limited understanding of how to best support their healthcare and well-being. To address this gap, we aim to conduct a priority-setting exercise to identify key research priorities and establish a patient-oriented research agenda that will drive long-term, impactful research and ultimately improve maternal health outcomes for PSAI in Canada.
methodsThis project follows the James Lind Alliance (JLA) priority-setting partnership (PSP) methodology, which includes forming a steering committee, identifying and verifying uncertainties, conducting an interim priority-setting phase, and holding a final workshop. Participants will include first-generation South Asian immigrant women from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, as well as clinicians, researchers, and community/professional organizations from Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia. Data will be collected through Zoom-based recorded working group sessions and an online ranking survey. Qualitative data will be analyzed using an inductive content analysis approach supported by NVivo software. Subgroup diversity (e.g., ethnicity, gender, age, and geography) will be tracked across participant groups. Consensus on top research priorities will be achieved through a structured ranking process followed by a facilitated virtual workshop. The study began in May 2025 and is expected to conclude by January 2026, a timeline consistent with similar JLA PSP initiatives. DISSEMINATION: All findings will be shared through a peer-reviewed publication and conference presentations for the scientific community, a lay summary for community organizations, and a video and infographic for patient participants. Community and professional organizations will also support the dissemination of findings through their networks and social media channels.
