Comprehensive Health Challenges and Management Strategies for International Business Travelers: A Scoping Review.
Review in JMA journal, 2025. 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
Background: The globalization of economic activities has led to a significant increase in international business travelers (IBTs), exposing them to various health risks, including infectious diseases, physical and psychological stress, and inadequate access to medical care. However, comprehensive research on IBTs' health remains limited. This study aims to assess IBTs' health concerns through a scoping review, focusing on illnesses during travel, the impact on daily life and well-being, and corporate health management. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the Arksey and O'Malley framework and the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Extensive searches were performed in MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Ichushi-Web, targeting studies for studies published between 2013 and 2022. Eligible studies addressed IBTs' physical and mental health or healthcare access. A two-step screening process was applied, and relevant data were extracted and categorized. Results: A total of 31 studies were included. Health risks for IBTs were classified into three categories: (1) travel-related illnesses, including infectious diseases and medical emergencies; (2) physical and psychological health impacts, such as sleep disturbances, obesity, and mental stress; and (3) corporate health management strategies. Limited pre-travel consultations and vaccinations were notable concerns, particularly among Japanese IBTs. Conclusions: IBTs face significant health risks that require improved prevention strategies, including vaccination programs, corporate health policies, and psychological support. As global business travel resumes post-pandemic, comprehensive health management tailored to IBTs' needs is essential to ensure their well-being and operational efficiency.
