Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI) in Urological Cancers: A New Modern Era, but Not Generally Applied.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
The modern era of systemic treatment of urological cancers is definitely marked by checkpoint inhibitors. Over the past 30 years, checkpoint inhibitors have changed the oncological world, especially in chemoresistant malignancies. Multiple investigations focused on immunotherapy in urological cancers have carved new paradigms and changed clinical guidelines. However, some clinical trials have been blind alleys for systemic therapy. After a scrutinized review of electronic databases, we want to present the natural history and courses of clinical trials in urological malignancies. All of them contribute to expanding the knowledge and experience of clinicians, and some of them improve the prognosis and prolong the overall survival of oncological patients. In conclusion, checkpoint inhibitors open a new modern era in some urological cancers, but not overall. Future perspectives are focused on combination with targeted therapy and could be a new way forward in the systemic treatment of urological cancers.
