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

Migrants living in large urban areas are disproportionately impacted by health crises such as pandemics. This policy brief explores how urban areas mitigate and/or exacerbate the impact of COVID-19 on migrant groups and provides policy recommendations. We conducted a policy review to focus on the effects of COVID-19 on migrants living in cities with > 500,000 residents. We found that structural inequity, lack of migrants' inclusion in as relief programs, and residential segregation exacerbated COVID-19 impacts. Engagement of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and e-governance showed promising effects mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on these groups; yet the use of technology introduced additional barriers such as access to devices and internet connection. We recommend increasing policy attention to systemic social inequities faced by migrant groups in urban areas and supporting innovative and inclusive implementation of public health policies, urban design, and greater engagement of CSOs in the delivery of services to migrants.
