Crescentic transformation induced by granulocyte-colony stimulating factor administration-a case report and review of the literature.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 2026. 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
The use of recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is an uncommon aetiology for acute kidney injury in cancer patients. Several patterns of renal injury due to G-CSF have been discussed in the literature. Here, we present a case of a 48-year-old man with monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance who received filgrastim for planned autologous stem cell transplantation and developed acute kidney injury presenting as crescentic glomerulonephritis. The patient was treated with steroids, plasmapheresis, and cyclophosphamide. He attained complete recovery and proceeded with stem cell transplantation. We conducted an extensive review of the literature on the subject, which revealed that 10 of the 18 biopsy-proven cases of G-CSF-induced renal injury presented as crescentic glomerulonephritis. When G-CSF is administered to patients with an underlying renal pathology (usually autoimmune or monoclonal in aetiology), the migration and degranulation of activated neutrophils in the glomerular microenvironment in large numbers results in glomerular basement membrane rupture and crescent formation. Timely renal biopsy and aggressive initiation of treatment aid in attaining renal recovery and a favourable prognosis in cancer patients.
