Immunoprevention and immunomodulation of yellow fever: A scoping review of global and Latin American evidence.
Article in PloS one, 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
backgroundYellow fever (YF) remains a major global public health challenge, with recurrent outbreaks in Africa and the Americas despite the long-standing availability of a highly effective vaccine. In recent years, outbreaks in Brazil and Colombia (2024-2025) have underscored persistent barriers to achieving optimal vaccination coverage and have highlighted the predominantly reactive nature of many public health responses to YF transmission.
objectiveTo map and synthesize evidence published between 2020 and 2025 on YF immunoprevention and immunomodulation at global, Latin American, and Colombian levels, identifying advances, gaps, and implications for public health policy.
methodsA scoping review was conducted following PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Eligible sources included original research, reviews, and official documents addressing vaccination strategies, safety, and immune responses. Publications in English, Spanish, and Portuguese from January 2020 to September 2025 were retrieved from major databases and grey literature sources. Data were tabulated and descriptively synthesized.
resultsSeventy-eight documents met inclusion criteria. The literature consistently supported the high efficacy of a single 17D vaccine dose, with fractional dosing validated as an emergency strategy in contexts of vaccine shortage. Immunological evidence confirmed strong and durable humoral and cellular responses, consistent with foundational studies conducted prior to 2020. However, important gaps persist, particularly regarding immunogenicity and safety in Latin American populations, older adults, pregnant women, and people living with HIV. In Colombia, universal vaccination campaigns during the 2025 outbreak improved coverage but revealed weaknesses in pharmacovigilance, local research capacity, and sustained prevention strategies.
conclusionsThe 17D vaccine remains the cornerstone of YF control. However, sustaining elimination goals requires not only maintaining ≥95% vaccination coverage but also strengthening pharmacovigilance systems, generating locally relevant immunological evidence, and transitioning from reactive outbreak responses to more proactive, context-sensitive vaccination strategies.
