Cultural and socioeconomic determinants of family satisfaction with ICU care across the globe: a scoping review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Objective: To map evidence on global cultural and socioeconomic determinants of family satisfaction with care in the intensive care unit (ICU), including assessment, the influence of cultural beliefs and practices, and the impact of socioeconomic status on family satisfaction. Study design: This scoping review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines and was reported in accordance with PRISMA-ScR. A comprehensive search of English-language studies was conducted across multiple databases. Studies were included if they examined the impact of cultural and socioeconomic factors on shared or end-of-life decision-making among family members, or if they explored the relationship between these factors and psychological outcomes (e.g., anxiety, depression, insomnia) in caregivers during ICU stays-provided that family satisfaction was also assessed. Two independent reviewers screened all studies, and data were extracted using a customized form to ensure consistency and relevance to the research question. Results: A total of 2,121 articles were identified from PubMed ( Conclusion: This review comprehensively mapped the available evidence and noted that addressing the cultural, socioeconomic, religious, and spiritual needs of the family, including comfort-based care interventions in the ICU, may improve family perceptions of ICU care and satisfaction. Further studies are required, especially in LMIC settings, to address diverse races, religions, and ethnicities in this context. Systematic review registration: https://osf.io/5xusk.
