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

Due to differential treatment responses of patients to pharmacotherapy, drug development and practice in medicine are concerned with personalized medicine, which includes identifying subgroups of population that exhibit differential treatment effect. For time-to-event data, available methods only focus on detecting and testing treatment-by-covariate interactions and may not consider multiplicity. In this work, we introduce the Bayesian credible subgroups approach for time-to-event endpoints. It provides two bounding subgroups for the true benefiting subgroup: one which is likely to be contained by the benefiting subgroup and one which is likely to contain the benefiting subgroup. A personalized treatment effect is estimated by two common measures of survival time: the hazard ratio and restricted mean survival time. We apply the method to identify benefiting subgroups in a case study of prostate carcinoma patients and a simulated large clinical dataset.
