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

Climate change, global migration, and population aging are converging to create unique health risks for older migrants, a group facing compounded vulnerabilities due to age, migration status, and often socioeconomic disadvantage. However, the integration of climate resilience, cultural safety, and nursing care for this population remains underexplored.

objectiveThis narrative review synthesizes existing evidence on the intersection of climate change, the health of older migrants, and nursing care, aiming to identify gaps and propose a pathway for integrated care.

methodsA structured search was conducted across major academic databases and grey literature up to May 2025, guided by the Arksey and O'Malley framework. Inclusion criteria focused on older migrants (aged 60+), nursing care practices/strategies, and the context of climate change.

findingsMinimal evidence explicitly addresses the triad of climate change, older migrants, and nursing. Existing literature treats these domains largely in isolation. While climate change exacerbates health risks for older adults, and nursing roles in disaster response are acknowledged, targeted strategies for older migrants are scarce.

conclusionThis review highlights a critical gap in nursing care for older migrants at the intersection of aging, migration, and climate change. Evidence remains fragmented, and existing frameworks rarely integrate climate resilience with cultural safety. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies, co-designed interventions, and competency standards integrating climate health and cross-cultural skills to advance equitable, climate-resilient care.
