Incidence Rates of Cutaneous Immune-Related Adverse Events in Patients with Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.), 2025. 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
objectiveCutaneous immune-related adverse events (cirAEs) represent a prevalent manifestation of adverse reactions linked to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy, substantially affecting patients' quality of life. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify the pooled incidence of cirAEs in this population and strengthen clinical awareness for early recognition and management.
methodsA comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, and Wanfang databases was conducted from inception to December 2022. Literature that reported the incidence of cirAEs in patients with lung cancer receiving ICIs therapy was included. A meta-analysis was conducted using R software, version 4.4.1 to estimate the pooled incidence of cirAEs, and a random-effects model was used for data synthesis. Begg's rank correlation and funnel plots were used to assess publication bias.
resultsA total of 99 articles involving 23,814 patients with lung cancer receiving ICIs therapy were included, with publication dates ranging from 2012 to 2022. The meta-analysis results reveal that the incidence of cirAEs in patients with lung cancer was 20.26% (95% confidence interval [CI (17.12-23.81)]. Significant differences were observed between all subgroups, including continent, study type, combination therapy, dual ICIs therapy, and diagnostic criteria for cirAEs for Grade 1-2 and Grade 3-4 incidences.
conclusionsThe incidence of cirAEs in patients with lung cancer is relatively high, particularly undergoing combined or dual ICIs therapy. To comprehensively characterize cirAEs in patients with lung cancer, large-scale multicenter studies integrating real-world pharmacovigilance data are warranted to establish precise incidence estimates and identify clinically significant risk factors. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE: This review's insights aroused clinical staff's attention and concern about cirAEs, potentially enhancing the quality of life of patients with cancer.
