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

objectiveChemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia is a common and serious oncological emergency which carries a substantial mortality and morbidity. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the usage of absolute monocyte count (AMC) at presentation as a prognostic factor for patients with chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia who were subsequently treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). STUDY

designThe electronic medical records of our center were used retrospectively to identify patients diagnosed with unprecedented chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia treated with G-CSF between January 2010 to December 2020 and diagnosed with solid and hematological malignancies. Patient's demographics, disease characteristics and laboratory investigations were extracted. Disease progression measures were statistically compared between the study groups in the short-term period of follow-up (six days) including absolute neutrophil count (ANC), ANC difference compared to the baseline readings, hospitalization period, and mortality.

resultsA total of 80 patients were identified and categorized into two groups namely monocytopenia (n = 34) and non-monocytopenia (n = 46) with an AMC cutoff point of 0.1×10

conclusionMonocytopenia holds a worse prognosis in chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia patients treated with G-CSF. In addition, AMC values at presentation represents a potential risk factor that can predict short-term changes regarding ANC measures.
