Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) versus no KGF for the reduction of severe oral mucositis in patients receiving treatment for cancer or undergoing haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Forest plot of incidence of severe (grade 3 or 4) mucositis in adults and children randomised to KGF versus no KGF in patients with cancer and those receiving haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Squares to the left of the vertical line indicate that the intervention reduces mucositis. Horizontal lines through the squares represent CIs. The size of the squares reflects each study's relative weight, and the diamond represents the aggregate risk ratio and 95% CI.
