Good Practices for Managing Acute Respiratory Viral Infections at Aerial Entry Points: A Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of epidemiology and global health, 2026. 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
backgroundAerial entry points are critical in the international spread of infectious diseases, underscoring the need for effective management of acute respiratory viral infections (ARVIs). Recent global outbreaks, including COVID‑19, have highlighted the importance of strengthened public health measures at air borders. However, evidence on ARVI management strategies at these points remains fragmented. This scoping review mapped and synthesized existing approaches to quarantine protocols, contact‑tracing methods, and advanced or innovative technologies used at aerial entry points.
methodsWe conducted a scoping review following the Arksey and O’Malley framework, refined by Levac et al., and reported in accordance with PRISMA ScR guidelines. Scientific databases were systematically searched for English language studies published between 2003 and 2024 that described the management of ARVIs at air borders. Data from eligible studies were charted and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify and categorize quarantine approaches, contact tracing strategies, and advanced or innovative technologies applied in these settings.
resultsA total of 80 studies were included in the review, addressing diseases such as COVID 19, influenza, SARS, and Ebola. Most studies were conducted in high income countries and in regions of Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific. Various quarantine approaches were identified, including mandatory quarantine, risk based quarantine, and home based isolation strategies. Contact tracing methods ranged from traditional manual approaches using passenger information to technology supported systems that improved the speed of identifying exposed individuals. Several studies reported the use of advanced digital technologies such as digital health passports, geofencing monitoring systems, and electronic reporting platforms to support monitoring, compliance, and data management during public health responses at air borders.
conclusionThe findings highlight the diverse range of quarantine protocols, contact tracing approaches, and emerging technological tools used to manage ARVIs at air borders. Despite these developments, evidence regarding the effectiveness and long term implementation of these strategies remains limited. Further research is needed to strengthen the evidence base and support evidence informed policies for managing respiratory infectious diseases at international points of entry.
