1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

AIM(S): To explore how primary care practitioners, including nurses, provide dietary diabetes management to migrants.

designThe scoping review followed, a refined and structured methodological framework and adhered to the Joanna Briggs Institute Scoping Review guidelines. METHODS AND DATA SOURCES: Searches were conducted across CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus databases to identify studies published between 2000 and 2024 that focus on dietary diabetes care for migrants in Primary Health Care settings. Data were synthesised using thematic analysis.

resultsThe search identified 377 studies, with 30 meeting the inclusion criteria. Analysis revealed four themes: (1) cultural influences on diabetes management, (2) culturally tailored dietary interventions, (3) communication challenges and (4) access and availability of diabetes care.

conclusionCulturally competent primary care practices are crucial for effective diabetes dietary management for migrants, as they can enhance patient engagement, adherence, and overall health outcomes. Primary care nurses are uniquely positioned to address the barriers experienced by migrant populations through tailored care delivery. IMPLICATIONS FOR PATIENT CARE: The findings provide actionable guidance for nurses to implement targeted and culturally responsive approaches in delivering dietary diabetes management, aiming to improve patient adherence and health outcomes among migrants. IMPACT: This review identified significant literature gaps in how primary care nurses provide culturally responsive dietary guidance for migrant patients with diabetes. The four themes identified have emphasised the need for culturally preserving care to enhance patient engagement and adherence to clinical guidance. The findings will directly impact nursing practice, education, and clinical guidelines globally, enabling nurses to deliver more effective and culturally responsive diabetes care that improves diabetes-related disparities among migrants globally. REPORTING

methodThe review adhered to PRISMA-Sc guidelines. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution. This review received no funding from public, commercial or not-for-profit sectors.
