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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe aim of the study was to evaluate whether glycosylated granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) (lenograstim) offers a benefit over non-glycosylated G-CSF (filgrastim) in clinically relevant end points after high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT).

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the outcome of 261 patients treated with either lenograstim (n=68) or filgrastim (n=193). Time to blood cell recovery, toxicities, and infectious complications were analyzed in a total of 469 G-CSF treatment cycles.

resultsMean time to leukocyte recovery was 10.7 days (SD+/-0.9) (lenograstim) and 10.8 days (SD+/-0.6) (filgrastim), respectively. Likewise, time to thrombocyte engraftment, febrile days, duration of therapeutic antibiotic treatment, severity of non-hematological toxicities, duration of in-hospital stay, and duration of G-CSF treatment were similar in both groups. Owing to the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of lenograstim, the required dose until leukocyte recovery was significantly smaller as compared to filgrastim (38.5 vs 54.0 microg/kg of body weight).

conclusionsCollectively, our data indicate that both G-CSF preparations are equally effective in hastening leukocyte recovery in the setting of high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous PBSCT.
