Pegfilgrastim Biosimilars: Where Are We Now?
Article in Journal of the advanced practitioner in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
In 1991, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved rmetHuGCSF for human use. This recombinant methionyl human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, or filgrastim, saw use in over 1 million patients in its first 5 years on the market. In 2002, the FDA approved a version of filgrastim with covalent linkage to a monomethoxypolyethylene glycol, increasing the molecular size and half-life to replace multiple days of dosing with a single injection. These medications remained standard of care for neutropenia until the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 created an abbreviated pathway to licensure for biologic products. Practitioners now have their pick of numerous and expanding options for pegfilgrastim biosimilars.
