Unraveling the HIV-malaria interactions: a bibliometric analysis of global research trends and emerging insights.
Synthesis in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. 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
Background: The co-infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and malaria has emerged as an urgent public health challenge in tropical areas where the two diseases geographically converge, stimulating extensive biomedical investigations into their pathobiological interactions. This study aims to elucidate the current status and research trends regarding the interactions between HIV and malaria through bibliometric and visualized analysis. Methods: Research on the interactions between HIV and malaria was collected from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric analysis and knowledge graph visualization were performed on 4,717 articles published between 1995 and 2024, using CiteSpace software. Results: The results demonstrate a fluctuating upward pattern in the number of publications related to HIV and malaria interactions. According to the cooperative network visualization analysis, the United States, the University of London, and Grant Dorsey possess the greatest publication counts among all countries, institutions, and authors, respectively. The keyword and cocited reference analysis distinguish the primary research hotspots and frontiers as the epidemiological study of different populations in the African region, pathogenic mechanisms underlying HIV-malaria co-infection, strategies for the prevention and treatment of HIV and malaria co-infection, interactions between antimalarial and antiretroviral drugs, and malaria vaccine responses in HIV-infected individuals. Conclusion: This bibliometric investigation outlines the research hotspots, frontiers, and trends regarding the interactions between HIV and malaria. Future research should delineate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions between antimalarial and antiretroviral drugs to enhance clinical efficacy and medication safety and develop effective malaria vaccines that benefit HIV-positive populations in endemic areas.
