Proteome-wide Mendelian randomization identifies protein associations and therapeutic targets for B-cell malignancy.
Article in Blood neoplasia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Despite therapeutic advances in B-cell malignancies, many patients continue to experience relapse or refractory disease, highlighting an unmet need for novel drug targets. The high attrition rate of drug development programs, however, represents a productivity-limiting step. To prioritize candidate drug targets, we used Mendelian randomization to evaluate causal associations between 2923 circulating proteins and 6 B-cell malignancies (22 922 cases and 388 978 controls). We identified 27 protein-disease associations, including TNFSF13 (APRIL) and TNFRS13B (TACI) in multiple myeloma, CD40 in Hodgkin lymphoma, and FAS in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. All results are interactively accessible via our R/Shiny application (https://software.icr.ac.uk/app/mrcan). Integrating single-cell RNA sequencing from 183 355 hematolymphoid cells, Bayesian colocalization, and clinical trial evidence, we prioritized 23 proteins as candidate drug targets. This study demonstrates the potential of human genetics to guide therapeutic discovery for B-cell neoplasia.
