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
backgroundThe Pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) has longer half-life and is given once only, which is more comfortable for patients. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of mecapegfilgrastim for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) mobilization in patients with hematologic malignancies and to explore the potential factors related to HSC mobilization.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent HSC mobilization in the hematology department of Mianyang Central Hospital from April 2016 to November 2022. The number of CD34 + cells collected was compared between the patients receiving mecapegfilgrastim (PEG group) and those receiving recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF group), and the possible factors for mobilization failure were analyzed.
resultsThe success rates of collecting CD34 + cells in the PEG group and rhG-CSF group were 80.6% and 67.7%, respectively (χ = 1.444, P = 0.229). The median CD34 + cell counts were 3.62 × 10^6/kg and 2.92 × 10^6/kg (P = 0.178), respectively. After combination with plerixafor for mobilization, the median number of CD34 + cells collected in the PEG group and rhG-CSF group were 3.64 × 10^6/kg and 3.92 × 10^6/kg, respectively, with no significant difference (P = 0.754). There was no significant difference in hematopoietic cell recovery or infection between the groups (P > 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that more than 5 cycles of chemotherapy (OR = 15.897, 95% CI: 1.766-143.127, P = 0.014), a precollection WBC count < 32 × 10^9/L (OR = 14.441, 95% CI: 2.180-95.657, P = 0.006) and a precollection to premobilization lymphocyte ratio < 1.7 (OR = 11.388, 95% CI: 2.129-60.915, P = 0.004) were independent risk factors for HSC mobilization failure.
conclusionsThe HSC mobilization efficacy of mecapegfilgrastim in patients with hematologic malignancies was comparable to that of rhG-CSF, and combination with plerixafor for mobilization was feasible and effective. Patients with more than 5 cycles of chemotherapy before HSC mobilization, a precollection WBC count lower than 32 × 10^9/L, and a precollection lymphocyte count less than 1.7 times the premobilization lymphocyte count have a high probability of HSC mobilization failure.
