Article in HemaSphere, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03226301 (A Prospective, Multicenter, Phase-II Trial of Ibrutinib Plus Venetoclax in Patients With Creatinine Clearance >= 30 ml/Min Who Have Relapsed or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia), which is not on this map.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

Targeted therapies have improved outcomes for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL); yet, not all achieve durable responses. Existing prognostic models, developed for chemoimmunotherapy, have limited predictive value for newer targeted combinations. Here, we used data from a randomized phase II clinical trial to identify predictors of progression-free survival (PFS) in response to Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) + B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) inhibitor combination therapy. We studied the functional, genetic, and clinical characteristics of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) CLL treated with ibrutinib + venetoclax in the VISION/HO141 clinical trial (NCT03226301). Ex vivo drug sensitivity testing, (phospho)protein profiling, and immunophenotyping were performed on baseline peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 177 patients. Ex vivo drug sensitivity correlated with clinical responses to single-agent therapies. (Phospho)protein patterns reflected intracellular pathway activity and predicted ex vivo drug sensitivity. Using stringent feature selection and regularized ridge regression to prevent overfitting, we integrated functional, genetic, and clinical data sets and identified six features-sensitivity to VEGFR-2-, JAK1/2 + Bcl-2-, and BTK + PI3K-inhibitors; phosphorylation ratios of Bcl-2:BTK and p90RSK:PLCγ2; and frequency of CD8
