An integrative review on filial responsibility expectations in older parents.
Synthesis in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundOlder adults require varying degrees of care. The primary providers of care to older adults are often their adult children. Familiarity of adult children with the expectations of filial responsibility towards their older parents makes better relationship, improves the quality of care, and prevents the institutionalization of the elderly. Therefore, the present study was designed to identify the elements of filial responsibility expectations in older parents.
methodsThis study employed a comprehensive review approach based on Russell's suggested method (October 2023 to April 2024). Studies conducted on the expectations of filial responsibility was searched in databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, SID, Magiran, Irandoc, and Google Scholar search engine using, keywords such as "filial", "value*", "duty*", "responsibility", "obligate*", "expectation*", "child*", "age*","elderly", "older*", "senior*", and their Persian equivalents without time restrictions. Based on the results of 52 studies, filial responsibility expectations were categorized using content analysis according to Russell's proposed approach.
resultsFifteen subcategories were extracted, including preserving dignity, endless love, boosting vitality, creating a lasting generation, instrumental assistance, financial assistance, caregiving foresight, social inclusion motivator, visiting, companionship, promoting awareness, posthumous perpetuity, spiritual elevation, self-care, and caregiving to others, from which five main categories of psycho-emotional expectations, physical expectations, social expectations, spiritual expectations, and indirect expectations were obtained.
conclusionThe expectations of older parents from their adult children are diverse and encompass a wide spectrum. The importance of each expectation and its type and frequency varies across different countries. Discrepancies in the findings of studies highlight the dynamic nature of this issue and the effects of culture, society, economy, time, technology, and religion on it. Therefore, qualitative studies in different countries are recommended to broaden and deepen the knowledge in this area.
