Evolution of clonal hematopoiesis during cancer treatment and its impact on outcomes.
Article in The Journal of clinical investigation, 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
Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is the age-related expansion of mutated hematopoietic stem cells without hematologic abnormalities. In patients with solid tumors, CH is associated with higher mortality and may evolve to therapy-related myeloid neoplasms; however, the mechanisms by which cancer treatments promote CH dynamics remain largely unknown. Here, we analyzed 392 serial samples from a prospective cohort of patients with breast cancer and show that cytotoxic treatments led to strong therapeutic bottlenecks, resulting in significant reductions in hematopoietic allelic populations and differential clonal selection. Positively selected CH that expanded through dose-dependent therapeutic bottlenecks harbored mutations in TP53, PPM1D, SRCAP, DNMT3A, and YLPM1. Patients with positively selected CH during treatment had the shortest progression-free and overall survival compared with patients with unchanging or negatively selected CH across all therapies. These findings, validated in independent breast cancer and pan-cancer cohorts, provide strong evidence for the clinical relevance of monitoring CH during cancer treatment.
