This scatter plot visualizes the relationship between reported dates and total dead and missing migrants from the Missing Migrants Global dataset. The time-scaled x-axis plots daily records against the linear y-axis, with individual data points rendered as small circles and a smooth curve connecting them via d3.line with curveNatural. React manages the component state, while d3.csv loads and parses the data, d3.scaleTime and d3.scaleLinear handle the scales, and SVG renders the axes and marks with a tooltip showing formatted dates.
