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

Objective: Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) has emerged as a therapeutic option for various cancers. Increasing reports of SG-associated neutropenia have attracted attention, emphasizing the need to fully characterize this risk. Methods: This study conducted a retrospective pharmacovigilance analysis using the Food and Drug Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Cases of neutropenia associated with SG were extracted from the second quarter of 2020 through the second quarter of 2025 for disproportionality analysis. Additionally, a meta-analysis was performed on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SG (experimental group) with chemotherapy drugs (control group), retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science. Results: In the FAERS, 500 cases of neutropenia were associated with SG treatment. Among antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) drugs, SG exhibited the strongest positive signal (reported odds ratio (ROR) = 17.91, 95% CI: 16.39-19.56). Subgroup analysis revealed that this signal widely existed in different gender, age, reporting groups and initial indications. Most events occurred within 30 days of initial initiation. Gender (10 days for males vs. 13 days for females, Conclusion: The combined analysis supports an elevated risk of neutropenia associated with SG. This AE exhibits significant cancer species specificity. Early intervention and management of neutropenia are therefore of considerable clinical importance.
