1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThe migratory phenomenon is reaching record levels, with children as a vulnerable group, facing challenges during travel and adaptation. This review aims to map the obstacles and strategies in the provision of nursing care to migrant, asylum-seeking, and refugee children.

methodsThis is a scoping review according to JBI guidelines; searches were conducted in June - July 2024 and updated in May 2026 in MEDLINE Complete, PubMed, CINAHL Complete, and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria were language (Portuguese, English, or Spanish), population (migrant children), and various settings.

resultsTen studies identified several obstacles to nursing care, including cultural barriers, communication difficulties, nurses' attitudes, inadequate translation services, and limited knowledge of the health care system. DISCUSSION: Culturally congruent nursing care is essential for improving outcomes for vulnerable children. This review emphasizes the need for inclusive health policies and ongoing training to promote cultural competence among nurses.
