BTK, the new kid on the (oncology) block?
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In the last decade data piled up indicating that BTK - for twenty years considered as a "private matter" of bone marrow-derived cells - it is expressed and plays important and different roles also outside of the hematopoietic compartment and, most notably, in tumor cells. Initial evidence that BTK plays a critical role in B cell-derived malignancies prompted the chase for specific inhibitors, the forefather of which entered the clinic in a record time and paved the way for an ever increasing number of new molecules to be trialed. The growing interests in BTK also led to the discovery that, in solid tumors, two novel isoforms are mainly expressed and actionable liabilities for target therapy. Remarkably, the different isoforms appear to be involved in different signaling pathways which will have to be attentively specified in order to define the area of therapeutic intervention. In this perspective we briefly summarize the progress made in the last decade in studying BTK and its isoforms in cancer cells and define the open questions to be addressed in order to get the most benefits from its targeting for therapeutic purposes.
