A year and a half into the pandemic in Mexico: evidence of differences in COVID-19 mortality between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations continues to accumulate.

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
Among the groups most vulnerable to COVID-19 are Indigenous populations around the world, and in particular, the Mexican Indigenous population. We used public data made available by the General Directorate of Epidemiology of the Mexican Ministry of Health to compare the risk of COVID-19 mortality among the Indigenous and non-Indigenous Mexican population one and a half years into the pandemic. The analytical sample comprises 3,545,952 Mexicans who were diagnosed as infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 between March 18, 2020, and September 16, 2021, of which 1.0% (36,195) are Indigenous. Based on parametric survival models, our results show that the risk of death among Indigenous individuals is 52% higher than that of their non-Indigenous counterparts, regardless of age, sex, area of residence, health service, number of chronic diseases, and obesity status. These results suggest that certain structural conditions of the Mexican Indigenous population increase their vulnerability to the pandemic.
