A Comparison of Cardiovascular Health Across Migration Flows on the US-Mexico Border.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 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
Our objective was to characterize cardiovascular health in different migrant flows crossing through the United States (US)-Mexico border region. Participants (n = 1,264; weighted n = 682,130) in a probability-based study of migrant flows completed cross-sectional surveys and measurements from February-December 2022 at transit points in Tijuana, Matamoros, and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Outcomes were American Heart Association cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics (diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, body mass index, blood lipids, blood glucose, blood pressure) (all range 0-100). We used covariate-adjusted linear regression to compare CVH outcomes by migration flow (Pre-migration, Return, Southbound, Deported). Compared to Pre-migration participants, Return and Southbound participants had significantly worse cardiovascular health scores for body mass index in adjusted models (difference = -24.0 [-38.9, -9.1] and difference = -14.7 [-26.2, -3.3], respectively), while Deported participants had significantly lower scores for blood lipids (difference = -12.3 [-23.7, -0.9]). We identified two cardiovascular risk factors that may serve as targets for intervention to improve cardiovascular health among migrants on the US-Mexico border. Findings demonstrate that migration flows represent subpopulations whose health needs and barriers to health services differ. Transit points may be potential intervention venues to improve migrant health.
