I am a first year PhD student, and have been asked to peer-review a paper. The paper is not really in my field, so I will not learn anything valuable by reading the paper. The publishing venue is not open-access, so it is difficult to justify on altruistic grounds. Also, the reviews are double-blind, so there is no potential for networking. As I have never been a reviewer, I am wondering: is there any other possible personal benefits that I might realize from performing this task?
