The centrality of "family first" among Chinese migrants in determining experiences of palliative care: An integrative literature review.
Review in Palliative care and social practice, 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
To reduce the health inequalities, it is important to understand the experiences of Chinese migrants receiving palliative care. This study focuses on how health systems can enhance the cultural safety of palliative care for Chinese migrants. How do cultural values and migration experiences shape Chinese families' experience of palliative care? To review the evidence relating to the experiences of Chinese migrants and their families receiving palliative care. This integrative review included quantitative and qualitative studies reported in English. Study quality was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme. Results were analyzed using thematic analysis. An electronic database search of Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, and PsycINFO was performed. Eleven papers were included. Thematic analysis identified four themes: self-isolation, far from help, sociocultural shifts experienced by migrants, and trust problems arising from migrant experience. These themes were underpinned by a common belief of "family first." With this core belief, patients and families make decisions that they believe will benefit the family. This review identifies the centrality of "family first" among Chinese migrants in determining experiences of palliative care. More research is needed to develop culturally appropriate palliative care services to support the growing global population of Chinese migrants.
