A multicenter phase II trial of primary prophylactic PEG-rhG-CSF in pediatric patients with solid tumors and non-Hodgkin lymphoma after chemotherapy: An interim analysis.
Trial report in Cancer medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04547829 (Safety and Efficacy of Pegylated Recombinant Human Granulocyte-colony Stimulating Factor), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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.

Abstract
backgroundPegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) can be used in pediatric patients. This study assessed the safety and efficacy of PEG-rhG-CSF as a primary prophylactic drug against neutropenia after chemotherapy in pediatric patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). PATIENTS AND
methodsThis phase II study (between October 2020 and March 2022) enrolled pediatric patients with solid tumors or NHL treated with high-intensity chemotherapy and with grade ≥3 myelosuppression for at least 14 days during chemotherapy. Prophylactic PEG-rhG-CSF was given at 100 μg/kg body weight (maximum total dosage of 6 mg) once 24-48 h following chemotherapy for two cycles. The primary endpoint was the incidence of PEG-rhG-CSF-related adverse events (AEs). The key secondary endpoints were the rates of grade 3/4 neutropenia and febrile neutropenia (FN).
resultsThis study included 160 pediatric patients with a median age of 6.22 (0.29, 18.00) years. Fifty-eight patients (36.25%) were diagnosed with sarcoma. AEs potentially related to PEG-rhG-CSF included bone pain (n = 32), fatigue (n = 21), pain at the injection site (n = 21), and myalgia (n = 20). The rates of grade 3/4 neutropenia and FN during treatment were 57.28% and 29.45%, respectively.
conclusionPEG-rhG-CSF is well tolerated and effective in pediatric patients with solid tumors or NHL. These findings should be substantiated with further trials. CLINICAL
