BH3 mimetics in combination with nilotinib or ponatinib represent a promising therapeutic strategy in blast phase chronic myeloid leukemia.

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
Dysregulation of the BCL-2 family is implicated in protecting chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells from intracellular damage and BCR::ABL1-inhibition with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and may be a viable therapeutic target in blast phase (BP-)CML, for which treatment options are limited. BH3 mimetics, a class of small molecule inhibitors with high-specificity against the prosurvival members of the BCL-2 family, have displayed clinical promise in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic and acute myeloid leukemia as single agents and in combination with standard-of-care therapies. Here we present the first comparison of inhibition of BCL-2 prosurvival proteins BCL-2, BCL-xL and MCL-1 in combination with a second or third generation TKI, crucially with comparisons drawn between myeloid and lymphoid BP-CML samples. Co-treatment of four BP-CML cell lines with the TKIs nilotinib or ponatinib and either BCL-2 (venetoclax), MCL-1 (S63845) or BCL-xL (A-1331852) inhibitors resulted in a synergistic reduction in cell viability and increase in phosphatidylserine (PS) presentation. Nilotinib with BH3 mimetic combinations in myeloid BP-CML patient samples triggered increased induction of apoptosis over nilotinib alone, and a reduction in colony-forming capacity and CD34
