CCR-CCL axes as key upstream influencers of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: CCR2-CCL2, CCR5-CCL5, CCR4-CCL17/22, CCR6-CCL20, CCR7-CCL19/21.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
PDAC remains one of the most lethal malignancies, characterized by a highly desmoplastic ECM that promotes an immunosuppressive signaling network and dampens the effectiveness of traditional therapies. Among the several key contributors to its immune evasion pathways are chemokine signaling axes, which orchestrate the recruitment of regulatory immune cell populations, promote metastasis, and remodel the TME in favor of tumor progression. This review comprehensively examines the roles of major CCR-CCL signaling pathways-primarily focusing on the CCR2-CCL2, CCR5-CCL5, CCR4-CCL17/22, CCR6-CCL20, and CCR7-CCL19/21 axes-in PDAC development, detailing their expression patterns, immunologic impact, and downstream signaling mechanisms and outcomes. We further detail past and ongoing therapeutic efforts and trials addressing these axes in both PDAC and relevant non-PDAC settings via several small-molecule antagonists and monoclonal antibodies: BMS-813160, Maraviroc, Leronlimab, FLX475, PF-07054894, IDOR- 1117-2520, and CAP-100. Despite continuous advances in the field, the current body of evidence remains limited and presents significant research gaps in areas such as spatial profiling, stage-specific analyses, and general mechanistic validation in PDAC-specific settings. Addressing these shortcomings will be key to developing a more comprehensive knowledge of the field and improving future therapeutic strategies to overcome PDAC.
