Clonal hematopoietic mutations as a predictor of adverse outcomes in cytopenic patients with chronic kidney disease.
Article in Blood research, 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
purposeClonal hematopoiesis (CH) is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), inflammation, and increased mortality. However, its prevalence and clinical impact in patients with cytopenia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain unclear.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with cytopenia and CKD who underwent targeted sequencing to evaluate the association between CH, CKD progression, and overall mortality.
resultsA total of 67 patients were included (mean age 75.7 ± 10.5 years; 58.2% male). Most patients had myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) (79.1%), followed by clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) and idiopathic cytopenia of undetermined significance (ICUS) (14.9%). CH was detected in 53.7% of the patients, most commonly involving TET2 (44.4%), DNMT3A (22.2%), and ASXL1 (22.2%). Over a median follow-up of 43.5 months (interquartile range [IQR] 34.3-79.3), CKD progression occurred in 34.3%. The 5-year cumulative incidence of CKD progression tended to be higher in the CH carriers than in the non-carriers (55.4% vs. 31.4%; log-rank p = 0.066). In multivariable Cox analysis, CH remained independently associated with CKD progression (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 2.83; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.03-7.79; p = 0.044). CKD progression was most frequent in patients with MDS and CH (46%), followed by MDS without CH (30%) and CCUS (16%), with no progression in ICUS. Mortality was higher in CH carriers (50.0% vs. 16.1%; p = 0.004) and remained independently associated with CH (adjusted HR 3.90; 95% CI 1.41-10.83; p = 0.009).
conclusionsCH is common in cytopenic patients with CKD and is independently associated with an increased risk of CKD progression and mortality. The assessment of CH may improve risk stratification and identify high-risk patients with adverse renal and survival outcomes.
