Clinical features, treatment, and outcome of granulocyte colony stimulating factor-induced sweet syndrome.
Article in Archives of dermatological research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSweet syndrome (SS) is a rare dermatological adverse reaction caused by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), but the characteristics of G-CSF-induced SS are unclear. This study aims to elucidate the characteristics of G-CSF-induced SS and offer guidance for its prevention and management.
methodsWe collected relevant case reports of G-CSF-induced SS by searching pertinent databases until June 30, 2024, and synthesized the data for retrospective analysis.
resultsA total of fifty patients were analyzed, with a median age of 44 years (1.7-77). The onset of SS occurred between 2 and 90 days post-administration, with a median onset time of 7 days. The predominant cutaneous manifestations included papules/plaques (74.0%), nodules (32.0%), and vesicles/bullae (24.0%). Fever presented in 74.0% of cases, while extra-cutaneous symptoms appeared in 32% of patients. Skin biopsy revealed key findings such as dermal diffuse neutrophil infiltration (97.8%), leukocytoclasis (19.1%), and dermal papillary edema (27.7%). Following both the cessation of G-CSF and systemic corticosteroids treatment, patients showed symptomatic improvement at a median interval of 7 days (2-70).
conclusionClinicians should remain vigilant for the risk of SS during G-CSF administration. Skin biopsy plays a crucial role in confirming SS diagnosis. G-CSF-induced SS exhibits a favorable response to corticosteroids, and re-administration of G-CSF should be avoided due to the risk of symptom recurrence.
