The Immunomodulatory Mechanisms of BTK Inhibition in CLL and Beyond.
Review in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, plays a pivotal role in B cell biology and function. As an essential component of the B cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway, BTK is expressed not only in B cells but also in myeloid cells, including monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, and mast cells. BTK inhibitors (BTKis) have revolutionized the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and other B cell malignancies. Besides their well-characterized role in inhibiting BCR signaling, BTKis also exert significant immunological influences outside the tumor cell that extend their therapeutic potential and impact on the immune system in different ways. This work elucidates the immunomodulatory mechanisms associated with BTK inhibition, focusing on CLL and other clinical contexts. We discuss how BTK inhibition affects various immune cells, including B cells, T cells, and macrophages. The effects of BTKis on the profiles of cytokines, also fundamental parts of the tumor microenvironment (TME), are summarized here as well. This review also appraises the implications of these immunomodulatory actions in the management of autoimmune diseases and infections. Summarizing the dual role of BTK inhibition in modulating malignant lymphocyte and immune cell functions, this paper highlights the broader potential clinical use of compounds targeting BTK.
