Interim Monitoring for Futility in Clinical Trials with Two Co-primary Endpoints Using Prediction.
Article in Statistics in biopharmaceutical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 discuss using prediction as a flexible and practical approach for monitoring futility in clinical trials with two co-primary endpoints. This approach is appealing in that it provides quantitative evaluation of potential effect sizes and associated precision, and can be combined with flexible error-spending strategies. We extend prediction of effect size estimates and the construction of predicted intervals to the two co-primary endpoints case, and illustrate interim futility monitoring of treatment effects using prediction with an example. We also discuss alternative approaches based on the conditional and predictive powers, compare these methods and provide some guidance on the use of prediction for better decision in clinical trials with co-primary endpoints.
