Pembrolizumab-Induced Hypothyroidism: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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 is a monoclonal antibody frequently used as immunotherapy for lung cell carcinoma that has been reported to cause hypothyroidism and myasthenia gravis among other, unwanted side effects. Here, we present an interesting case of a 77-year-old male previously diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma managed with pembrolizumab. Initially, he was admitted after a mechanical fall sustaining a facial laceration and subacute fracture in the nasal bone. However, during the workup, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was found to be elevated, which was attributed to the history of pembrolizumab usage.
