Safe Travel Preparation for HIV-Infected Patients.
Review in Current infectious disease reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purpose of reviewInfectious diseases are a risk when traveling internationally, and it is important to know the potential disease burden of a region and take appropriate preventative actions before traveling. For individuals with HIV, there are special considerations and contradictions for various vaccines and medications as well as interactions with likely antiviral drugs. The purpose of this review is to summarize the vaccine and medication recommendations for travelers with HIV infection. We also review recent studies to update these recommendations. RECENT
findingsThe recommendation for yellow fever vaccine has changed in June of 2016, and it is now a once in a lifetime vaccine instead of being given every 10 years. A new cholera vaccine, Vaxchora™ was approved in 2016. Since it is a live vaccine, its impact on immunocompromised individuals is still not fully known. A recent study found that immunocompromised patients responded well to the hepatitis A vaccine, although acquiring immunity may take longer than in non-immunocompromised people. There are some new anti-viral medicines that need to be considered with interactions for other travel medicines, in particular, the anti-malaria drugs. This review provides current knowledge on how HIV-infected and immunocompromised persons respond to medications and vaccines for prevention of infectious diseases in travelers. These recommendations will be useful to recommend safer travel for the HIV-infected patient. Some newer vaccines and medications will need further evaluation and assessment to determine safety and impact on HIV-positive travelers.
