Profile of deaths and causes of mortality among international migrants in Brazil, 2011-2022.
Article in Revista de saude publica, 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
objectiveTo describe the mortality profile and analyze the causes of death among international migrants residing in Brazil between 2011 and 2022.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and ecological study based on secondary data. The sociodemographic profile of deaths reported from 2011 to 2022 was analyzed. Absolute and relative frequencies, as well as mortality rates per 100,000 inhabitants, were calculated by country of birth, macroregion, and federative unit of residence. The underlying causes of death were also analyzed.
resultsA total of 173,807 deaths among international migrants were recorded between 2011 and 2022, with the highest number in 2021 (17,779; 10.2%). The predominant mortality profile was male (97,053; 55.8%), aged ≥ 81 years (104,308; 60.0%), White (136,835; 78.7%), and widowed (72,156; 41.5%). Most deceased migrants were born in Portugal (64,909; 37.3%), Japan (22,748; 13.1%), Italy (16,178; 9.3%), and Spain (12,835; 7.3%). The highest mortality rates were observed among migrants born in Lithuania (190,079/100,000), Serbia (146,794/100,000), and Hungary (96,395/100,000). The Southeast (137,457; 79.1%) and South (18,603; 10.7%) macroregions accounted for the majority of deaths, with the highest mortality rates observed in the states of Rio de Janeiro (25,349/100,000), São Paulo (23,574/100,000), and Mato Grosso do Sul (18,683/100,000). The covid-19 pandemic led to an increase in infectious and parasitic diseases from 2020 onward, peaking in 2021 (4,460; 25.0% of deaths that year). The most frequent underlying cause of death during the study period was unspecified acute myocardial infarction (12,141; 7.0%).
conclusionThis study highlights the need for targeted health actions addressing international migrant profiles at higher risk of death and their specific causes of mortality. However, the general invisibility of this population in public health indicators hinders the implementation of effective strategies. Policies ensuring equitable access to healthcare services, medications, and vaccines are essential to improve long-term health outcomes of this population.
