'We Prefer our Children To Care for Us Under One Roof': Perceptions and Use of Aged Care Services among African Migrant Older Adults in Australia.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. 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
This study explored the perceptions and use of aged care services among older African migrants in Australia. A research team, including an African migrant in Australia, employed a qualitative descriptive design to conduct face-to-face and telephone semi-structured interviews with 12 older African migrant adults. The data were analysed thematically using NVivo 12 Software. Findings show that older adults believed in caregiving at home by their relatives and had negative perceptions of aged care services, including residential aged care relocation. They also believed that the benefits of staying at home with their relatives outweighed the negative aspects, attributing their perception and use of services to their cultural orientation towards care. The older adults believed that care homes should be more sensitive to the culturally specific needs of Africans, and they ultimately advocated for the creation of African-specific care homes in Australia. Amidst the negative perception of aged care services by older African migrants, there is potential for the use of aged care services if these services are culturally appropriate for Africans in Australia.
