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

In prevalent cohort design, subjects who have experienced an initial event but not the failure event are preferentially enrolled and the observed failure times are often length-biased. Moreover, the prospective follow-up may not be continuously monitored and failure times are subject to interval censoring. We study the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation for the proportional hazards model with length-biased interval-censored data. Direct maximization of likelihood function is intractable, thus we develop a computationally simple and stable expectation-maximization algorithm through introducing two layers of data augmentation. We establish the strong consistency, asymptotic normality and efficiency of the proposed estimator and provide an inferential procedure through profile likelihood. We assess the performance of the proposed methods through extensive simulations and apply the proposed methods to the Massachusetts Health Care Panel Study.
