End-of-life care among Koreans in critical care and community-dwelling Korean Americans: A cross-cultural scoping review.
Article in Palliative & supportive care, 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
objectiveEnd-of-life (EOL) care for critically ill individuals is shaped by socioeconomic, legal, and cultural factors for Koreans in South Korea and Korean Americans (KA) in the United States. This scoping review thematically synthesized critical care literature from Korea and community-based literature involving KAs to inform culturally tailored EOL and palliative care research and practice.
methodsFollowing the updated JBI scoping review guidance, we reviewed English and Korean articles across seven databases. Due to the lack of critical care studies involving KAs, the scope of U.S. studies was broadened to all healthcare settings. We conducted a thematic synthesis to identify cross-context cultural insights that are potentially transferable from Koreans in critical care to KAs with similar needs.
resultsEvidence on EOL care for Koreans in critical care and for KA communities across U.S. settings was limited. Korea-based critical care studies ( SIGNIFICANCE OF
resultsFindings highlight the need for culturally and structurally informed approaches to improve EOL care in both Korea and the U.S. This cross-context analysis demonstrates how evidence from the heritage country can inform research and practice for immigrant and minoritized populations when domestic data are sparse. Strength-based approaches grounded in community values, combined with culturally specific insights from Korean literature, may enhance culturally responsive support for KA patients and families.
