Immigrant and Mistrust in the Healthcare Setting: A Thematic Review.
Review in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Migration profoundly impacts the health and well-being of individuals and communities worldwide, yet little attention has been given to the concept of mistrust within immigrant healthcare contexts. This article presents a thematic literature review analyzing peer-reviewed articles to explore the nuanced dimensions of mistrust among immigrant populations receiving healthcare. The thematic analysis then carried out reveals that mistrust is mobilized in different ways and four key themes were analyzed: (1) the definition of mistrust given by the authors; (2) their study population, more particularly, who was mistrusting and who/what the object of their mistrust was; (3) the main sources of mistrust identified by the authors and rooted in various life situations and interactions; and finally, (4) the effects of mistrust reported by the authors, which included effects on beliefs, emotions, and behaviors. Understanding and addressing the roots and effects of mistrust are crucial for fostering trust-based healthcare relationships and improving health outcomes for immigrant populations. This research underscores the importance of culturally competent care, effective communication strategies, and policies aimed at reducing systemic biases and discrimination within healthcare systems to build trust and promote health equity among immigrant communities.
