Mortality, Ethnicity, and Urbanization Among Children Aged 1-4 Years on the US-Mexico Border.

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
objectivesLittle is known about the mortality of children along the US-Mexico border. The objective of our study was to determine whether mortality rates among Hispanic children along the border ("border Hispanic children") exceeded mortality rates among non-Hispanic white children along the border.
methodsWe examined mortality rates from 2001-2015 for children aged 1-4 years in US-Mexico border counties and in the United States overall. We compared mortality rates among Hispanic and non-Hispanic white children by county urbanization level (large central, medium, and small metropolitan; micropolitan nonmetropolitan; and noncore nonmetropolitan).
resultsDuring 2001-2015, 1811 children aged 1-4 years died in the border region. The mortality rate per 100 000 children among border Hispanic children (28.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 26.8-29.9) exceeded the mortality rate of US Hispanic children (24.7; 95% CI, 24.3-25.1) and border non-Hispanic white children (23.2; 95% CI, 20.8-25.6). When stratified by county urbanization level, however, mortality rates of border Hispanic children were not significantly different from mortality rates of US Hispanic or border non-Hispanic white children. Mortality rates in noncore nonmetropolitan counties were twice those in large central metropolitan counties, with injury mortality accounting for most of the excess. Mortality rates increased in nonmetropolitan border counties after 2010.
conclusionsIncreased risk for injury and disease in noncore nonmetropolitan counties might be related to poverty, reduced access to care, or poorer quality of care. Future research should identify the remediable risk factors in such communities as the next step in preventing deaths among children aged 1-4 years.
