Pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor for primary prophylaxis of neutropenia in patients with cervical cancer receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy: a prospective study.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) for primary prophylaxis of neutropenia in patients with cervical cancer receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
methodsIn this prospective, single-center, single-arm study, we enrolled patients (18-70 years) with 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIIC1r-IVA and IVB (distant metastasis only with inguinal lymph node metastasis) cervical cancer. Eligible patients should have normal function of the bone marrow (absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 2.0 × 10
resultsOverall, 52 patients were enrolled in this study from July 2019 to October 2020. The incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia was 28.8%, with an average duration of grade 3-4 neutropenia persistence of 3.85 days (1-7 days). The incidence rate of FN was 3.8%. The chemotherapy completion rate was 94.2%, 82.7%, and 75.0% for cycles 2-4, respectively. The incidences of grade 3-4 neutropenia for cycles 1-4 were 9.6% (5/52), 8.2% (4/49), 14.0% (6/43), and 2.6% (1/39), respectively. All patients completed radiotherapy within 8 weeks (median, 48 days; range: 41-56 days), except one patient who withdrew consent and did not receive radiotherapy. Severe non-hematologic toxicity was not observed in any patient.
conclusionPEG-rhG-CSF is an effective and safe prophylactic treatment for neutropenia in patients with cervical cancer undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
