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

purposePegfilgrastim is a long-acting granulocyte colony-stimulating factor indicated for prevention of febrile neutropenia in patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy by promoting neutrophil recovery.

methodsThis phase 1, randomized, double-blind, three-way crossover trial in healthy volunteers evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety, and tolerability of the proposed biosimilar, comparing MYL-1401H, reference pegfilgrastim (Neulasta

resultsThe primary PK and PD end points were similar across all groups. For the PK parameters, the 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the ratios of geometric means ranged between 0.91 and 1.18, which were within the predefined bioequivalence interval of 0.8000 to 1.2500 for all comparisons. For the PD parameters, the 95% CIs of the ratios of geometric means ranged between 0.94 and 1.06 for all comparisons, which were within the predefined PD equivalence interval of 0.8500 to 1.1765. The safety profiles were similar, with the most common adverse events being back pain and headache.

conclusionsMYL-1401H demonstrated similar PK, PD, and safety to reference pegfilgrastim in healthy volunteers and may be an equivalent option for the prevention of febrile neutropenia.
