    Immune checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (CIP) presents diagnostic challenges due to overlapping symptoms with other pulmonary conditions.

  • 2

    Research on CIP has increased significantly since 2015, with the highest publication output recorded in 2023.

  • 3

    China leads in the number of publications on CIP, while the United States has the highest citation impact.

  • 4

    Current diagnostic studies emphasize the need for distinguishing CIP from other pulmonary complications in immunotherapy patients.

  • 5

    Future research should focus on developing standardized diagnostic strategies linked to prognosis for CIP.
