Risk Factors Associated to Mortality in the Indigenous Population with COVID-19 in Mexico.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indigenous population in Mexico was subject to several factors that caused them to have a higher mortality risk than the non-Indigenous population. These risk factors included language barriers, poverty, comorbidities, inadequate access to health services, lack of social security, limited education, and substandard housing, inter alia. This study aims to determine the factors associated with COVID-19 mortality in the Indigenous population in Mexico. STUDY
designCohort study.
methodsThis study utilized data from the National Epidemiological Surveillance System for Viral Respiratory Disease (SISVER) collected during 2020 and 2021 to examine the population recognized as Indigenous.
resultsA total of 506,956 COVID-19 cases were reported, with 0.75% identified as Indigenous. The logistic regression assessed the combined effect of Indigenous status and each risk factor. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with or without interaction terms were reported. The identified risk factors were the following: age of > 60 years × Indigenous (aOR 9.19, CI 95% 6.38-13.2, p < 0.001); male × Indigenous (aOR 3.38, CI 95% 2.72-5.53, p < 0.001); and time from symptom onset to seeking care > 7 days × Indigenous (aOR 5.86, CI 95% 4.10-8.37, p < 0.001).
conclusionsBelonging to the Indigenous population is a significant risk factor for COVID-19 mortality in Mexico. Although both Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups share common risk factors, the combined effect of Indigenous status and each risk factor reveals greater vulnerability among the former. Significant interactions were observed with age over 60 years, sex, and delays in seeking medical care after the onset of symptoms.
