BCL-W makes only minor contributions to MYC-driven lymphoma development.

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
The BH3-mimetic drug Venetoclax, a specific inhibitor of anti-apoptotic BCL-2, has had clinical success for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and acute myeloid leukaemia. Attention has now shifted towards related pro-survival BCL-2 family members, hypothesising that new BH3-mimetic drugs targeting these proteins may emulate the success of Venetoclax. BH3-mimetics targeting pro-survival MCL-1 or BCL-XL have entered clinical trials, but managing on-target toxicities is challenging. While increasing evidence suggests BFL-1/A1 is a resistance factor for diverse chemotherapeutic agents and BH3-mimetic drugs in haematological malignancies, few studies have explored the role of BCL-W in the development, expansion, and therapeutic responses of cancer. Previously, we found that BCL-W was not required for the ongoing survival and growth of various established human Burkitt lymphoma and diffuse large B cell lymphoma cell lines. However, questions remained about whether BCL-W impacts lymphoma development. Here, we show that BCL-W appears dispensable for MYC-driven lymphomagenesis, and such tumours arising in the absence of BCL-W show no compensatory changes to BCL-2 family member expression, nor altered sensitivity to BH3-mimetic drugs. These results demonstrate that BCL-W does not play a major role in the development of MYC-driven lymphoma or the responses of these tumours to anti-cancer agents.
