Measles Among the Foreign-Born Population Residing in Spain, 2014-2022: Missed Opportunities for Vaccination.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesSpain has been in a measles elimination phase since 2014. No evidence exists about the distribution of measles cases among the population born outside Spain. The aim of this study was thus to describe the epidemiological situation of measles, stratified by place of birth, during the post-elimination period in Spain.
methodsThis is a retrospective study of confirmed measles cases reported to RENAVE between 2014 and 2022. A descriptive analysis of case characteristics (sex, age group, vaccination status, imported case) was performed, was well as an analysis of temporal trends and geographic distribution in measles incidence rate (IR; cases/million inhabitants). All analyses were stratified by place of origin (Spain born vs. born outside Spain). We then performed a sensitivity analysis of those born outside Spain, with the representation of Kaplan-Meier curves taking into account the year of arrival in the country until the onset of measles.
resultsBetween 2014 and 2022, 951 measles cases were reported in Spain (overall IR: 2.3). Among these, 18.6% (177 cases, IR: 3.0) were born outside Spain. The IRs show differences (
conclusionsThe incidence of measles is 40% higher in Spain's foreign-born population than in its native-born population. Taking into account the increasing migrant population in Spain, we consider that public health efforts need to be directed towards susceptible groups of people. In this context of advanced elimination, specific interventions for identifying and attending the most vulnerable populations should be designed and implemented.
