[Travelling with children and adolescents with rheumatic diseases].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Rheumatologie, 2021. 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
Due to the underlying disease and immunosuppressive treatment, pediatric patients with rheumatic diseases are at increased risk for (long distance) travel-related health problems. A pretravel comprehensive consultation is therefore strongly recommended. Whether a child with rheumatic disease is sufficiently fit for travel essentially depends on the disease activity, the age of the child and the intended travel destination. Depending on the level of immunosuppression, the risks for this patient group include (travel-related) infections and the possibility of disease activity flares. Of particular importance is adequate exposure prevention: standard vaccinations should be updated and indications for travel vaccinations evaluated in advance of travelling. In this context, potential contraindications, especially for live vaccines, in the case of specific immunosuppressive treatment should be considered. In the event of travel to malaria endemic areas, the necessity for chemoprophylaxis or stand-by medication must be evaluated but caution is needed regarding potential drug interactions. Detailed education about careful hand, food and contact hygiene is critical. Because photosensitivity may be increased in some rheumatic diseases and/or medications, UV protection is crucial. Barriers (clothes and mosquito nets) and age-appropriate chemical insect repellents should be used to prevent insect-borne diseases. Before start of travel, possibilities for on-site medical help in the event of disease deterioration and/or infection should be evaluated. This should be included in the assessment of the patient's ability to travel. Travelers with rheumatic disease should carry a first aid kit that includes both a sufficient supply of regular antirheumatic medication and supplemental medication in case of a disease flare. Storage conditions must be taken ínto account for some medications. Ultimately, the success of a journey depends on the planning from the perspective of the child with its specific needs.
