Immigrant Health Advantage? The Birth Outcomes of U.S.-Born Women in Mexico and Mexican-Origin Women in the United States.
Article in Journal of health and social behavior, 2025. 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
The migration of Mexican immigrants and their U.S.-born children from the United States to Mexico raises questions about the health of American citizens transitioning into adulthood in Mexico. Combining data from Mexican and U.S. birth records from 2015 to 2019, we analyzed the health of 12,373 infants born to U.S.-born women delivering in Mexico and compared them to infants born to Mexican-born women in Mexico, Mexican-born women in the United States, and U.S.-born women of Mexican origin in the United States. Contrary to the immigrant health advantage in the United States, we found an infant health disadvantage for U.S.-born immigrants in Mexico. U.S.-born mothers in Mexico were younger and had lower rates of health insurance coverage, but these differences did not account for their higher likelihood of adverse infant health outcomes.
