COVID-19 mortality among international migrants in Brazil: spatio-temporal analysis, 2020-2022.

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
objectiveTo describe the mortality profile and analyze the spatiotemporal distribution of COVID-19 mortality among international migrants residing in Brazil from 2020 to 2022.
methodsThis is a descriptive and ecological cross-sectional study using secondary data. Absolute and relative frequencies of the sociodemographic profile and mortality coefficients (MCs) were analyzed. Excess risk and global and local spatial autocorrelation were calculated.
resultsA total of 7,737 deaths were recorded during the period, with the highest frequency in 2021 (3,952). Brazil's overall MC was 515/100,000, with higher MCs in the Southeast (751/100,000) and Midwest (525/100,000) macroregions. The predominant death profile was for males (5,041); those aged ≥ 81 years (3,612); those of White race/skin color (5,685); married (3,406); born in Portugal (2,437). Global spatial autocorrelation was identified in 2022, and local spatial autocorrelation throughout the period.
conclusionThe high MC indicates a need for health policy interventions in regions with high migrant population concentrations.
