The reporting of adverse events has

difference was found in two trials

which included participants who received

G‐CSF to mobilise BMSC into peripheral

associated to G‐CSF treatment.

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality (++++): Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality (+++O): Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality (++OO): Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality (+OOO): We are very uncertain about the estimate.

For the 'Quality of the evidence' values, the highest weight was given to 'study limitations' and 'inconsistent results'. No studies were marked down for indirectness of evidence. Publication bias was not formally tested since there are very few studies (< 10 studies) in each major outcome to perfom a funnel plot and have meaningful results. Study limitations: it was considered 'serious' (‐1) when <50% of studies had adequate (YES) randomisation methods and blinding of outcome assessors and 'very serious' (‐2) when <75% of studies had adequate randomisation methods and blinding of outcome assessors. Inconsistent results: it was considered 'serious' (‐1) if a high degree of statistical heterogeneity was observed (I2 > 50%).

AE's during mobilization: bone pain (6); fever (3); skin rashes (1); weakness (2); spleen thrombosis (1). AEs during separating and collecting: low calcium effects (3), angina (2). AE's during BMSC transplantation: bradycardia (1), sinus arrest (1), ventricular fibrillation (1), hypotension (4).

Not specifically stated, but could be assumed that the bone pain, fever and skin trashes experienced during mobilization were G‐CSF related.

All resolved on stopping procedures. No severe complications or death reported following AEs.
