South Asian Migrants' Perception and Experiences of Physical Activity, Exercise and Exercise Therapy: A Scoping Review and Qualitative Analysis.
Review in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 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 scoping review explored the perceptions and experiences of South Asian Migrants (SAM) regarding Physical Activity (PA), Exercise, and Exercise Therapy (ET). Existing evidence is disparate and limits a comprehensive understanding of SAM perception and experiences. The review aimed to map the existing literature to better understand various factors that influence participation in exercise-related activities. The systematic search strategy was implemented across eight databases using key search terms. A total of 18, qualitative (n = 15) and quantitative (n = 3) studies were included in this review. Reflexive thematic analysis revealed five overarching themes, including: (1) Upholding deep-rooted cultural identities, (2) Influence of religious beliefs in shaping PA, (3) PA across the lifespan, (4) A gateway to holistic well-being, and (5) Pathway to personal empowerment. The review underscored how multiple factors shape SA migrants' perceptions and experiences of PA, exercise, and ET, and highlights the importance of culturally tailored ET approaches to address the needs of SA migrants.
