Social Determinants and Outbreak Dynamics of the 2025 Measles Epidemic in Mexico: A Nationwide Analysis of Linked Surveillance Data.

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
Measles resurgence threatens elimination achievements in the Americas. We conducted a nationwide analysis of Mexico's 2025-2026 measles outbreak, integrating individual-level surveillance data from the Special Surveillance System for Febrile Exanthematous Diseases with municipal-level social determinants from eight national databases, complemented by molecular surveillance data. We analyzed 6892 confirmed cases using spatial autocorrelation (Moran's I and LISA), effective reproduction number estimation, logistic regression models for municipal case presence, and multivariable logistic regression for risk factors for complications. Cases concentrated in Chihuahua (65.2%), with 47 LISA hot-spot municipalities containing 64.4% of cases. Molecular surveillance confirmed two independent introductions: D8/MVs/Ontario.CAN/47.24 (98.1%), linked to the North American outbreak, and B3 (1.9%) in Oaxaca. Transmission followed a three-stage pattern: introduction through seasonal agricultural worker networks, amplification in undervaccinated communities, and diffusion to marginalized indigenous populations. A dual-model analysis revealed that school non-attendance among children aged 6-14 years may have mediated the effect of very high marginalization on municipal case presence (OR 1.26;
