Current use of biosimilar G-CSF for haematopoietic stem cell mobilisation.
Article in Bone marrow transplantation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Despite biosimilars of the granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) filgrastim being approved by the European Medicines Agency since 2008, there is still some debate regarding their use in related and unrelated healthy haematopoietic stem cell donors. We present a review of published experiences using biosimilar filgrastim for healthy donor mobilisation as well as the results of a survey by the World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA) of its current use by register-associated transplant and collection centres for both related and unrelated donors. A total of 1287 healthy donors and volunteers are included in the reviewed studies. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics studies show a high degree of similarity to the reference product Neupogen. Mobilisation of CD34 + cells as well as reported adverse events are also found to be comparable, although there is still a lack of long-term follow up for both Neupogen and filgrastim biosimilars. No evidence is found of a higher risk of filgrastim antibody formation using filgrastim biosimilars. Based on this increased experience, the WMDA therefore recommend that Stem Cell Donor Registries can use filgrastim biosimilars for the mobilisation of peripheral blood progenitor cells in healthy donors, provided that they are approved by national and/or regional agencies.
