Isolated testicular vasculitis due to immune checkpoint inhibitor.
Review in European journal of rheumatology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Immune checkpoint inhibitors are increasingly being used to treat various malignancies; consequently, more rheumatological side effects, ranging from arthritis to vasculitis, are being reported. Here we present, for the first time, a case of vasculitis involving the testicle in the setting of an immune checkpoint inhibitor. As reported in previous cases, recurrence of a malignancy, as opposed to vasculitis, was initially suspected, thus creating a diagnostic dilemma. These rheumatological side effects have garnered attention as they potentially provide a window into in the pathogenesis of rheumatological diseases.
