Pembrolizumab-Induced Immune-Mediated Glossitis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Pembrolizumab (Keytruda), an anti-PD-1 antibody used in the treatment of several different malignancies has been identified to cause adverse effects pertaining to multiple body systems which include respiratory, gastrointestinal, dermatologic, and endocrine manifestations known as immune-related adverse events (IRAEs). Skin manifestations have been most described in current literature highlighting the most common adverse effects of this agent. However, adverse outcomes involving the oral mucosa have been rarely identified in the PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitor classes of immunotherapeutic agents. We present a case of a 71-year-old male who was treated with a chemotherapeutic regimen including pembrolizumab for newly diagnosed squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, who later developed ulcerations on his tongue that were consistent with glossitis. Upon determining that this adverse effect may be immune-related, the patient was treated with oral prednisone 40 mg with a 10 mg taper each subsequent week, which resulted in significant improvement in the patient's symptoms following one month of treatment.
