A Case of Immunotherapy-Induced Balanitis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Immunotherapy is indicated in a variety of different cancers with wide-ranging adverse events. Although dermatitis can be common, serious dermatologic complications (such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome) have also been reported. In this case report we present a case of balanitis caused by pembrolizumab, briefly review the current literature on more common dermatologic immunotherapy toxicities, and discuss the more common causes and treatments of balanitis. Although drug eruptions commonly respond to discontinuation of the offending agent, here we were able to treat with topical agents, such as steroid cream and mupirocin ointment. The ability to treat the balanitis without needing to discontinue the patient's immunotherapy highlights the success in both controlling the cancer and the treatment-related toxicity.
