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

We propose a doubly robust estimation method for the optimal treatment regime based on an additive hazards model with censored survival data. Specifically, we introduce a new semiparametric additive hazard model which allows flexible baseline covariate effects in the control group and incorporates marginal treatment effect and its linear interaction with covariates. In addition, we propose a time-dependent propensity score to construct an A-learning type of estimating equations. The resulting estimator is shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal when either the baseline effect model for covariates or the propensity score is correctly specified. The asymptotic variance of the estimator is consistently estimated using a simple resampling method. Simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the finite-sample performance of the estimators and an application to AIDS clinical trial data is also given to illustrate the methodology.
