G-CSF-induced Aortitis in an elderly woman successfully managed with prednisolone: a case report and literature review.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cancer incidence among old is increasing. Since age is important risk factor for febrile neutropenia (FN), use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and its complication is clinically important. A 72-year old woman has completed definitive surgery for left breast cancer and was started on postoperative chemotherapy. After 12 doses of paclitaxel, she received 1st cycle of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (day 1), and pegfilgrastim, a pegylated G-CSF to decrease the risk of FN (day 2). On day 13, she was admitted due to persistent fever since day 9. Laboratory tests revealed elevated neutrophil counts and C-reactive protein. Despite empirical antibiotics, her fever persisted and severe back pain developed (day 15). Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed wall thickening and increased density around the aortic arch and brachiocephalic artery. Diagnosis of pegfilgrastim-induced vasculitis was made after excluding autoimmune vasculitis. Prednisolone (60 mg/day) was administered and the fever and back pain subsided the following day.
