1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundGranulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-based mobilization is essential for peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection for allogeneic transplantation. Conventional daily G-CSF requires repeated dosing and dose adjustment and often necessitates leukapheresis over multiple consecutive days, increasing donor burden. Single-dose pegfilgrastim has emerged as an alternative; however, real-world data on its impact on CD34 STUDY DESIGN AND

methodsHealthy related or unrelated donors who received either a single dose of pegfilgrastim or daily filgrastim and subsequently underwent PBSC collection at Kyoto University Hospital between July 2014 and September 2025 were included. CD34

resultsA total of 39 donors were analyzed (20 pegfilgrastim, 19 filgrastim), with comparable baseline characteristics. At the start of leukapheresis, peripheral blood white blood cell counts were significantly higher in the pegfilgrastim group. Pegfilgrastim achieved greater total CD34 DISCUSSION: These findings suggest that single-dose pegfilgrastim enables more efficient PBSC collection with reduced donor burden and may represent a practical mobilization strategy in healthy allogeneic donors.
