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

Restricted mean survival time is an alternative measure of treatment effect to hazard ratio in clinical trials with time-to-event outcome. The current methods have been focused on one-stage designs. In this article, we propose optimal two-stage designs for a single-arm study with the smallest expected sample size. We compare the performance of the new optimal two-stage designs with the existing one-stage design with regards to the expected sample size and the expected total study length. The simulation results indicate that the new two-stage designs can save the expected sample size substantially as compared to the one-stage design. We use a non-small cell lung cancer trial to illustrate the application of the proposed designs. The proposed optimal two-stage designs are recommended for use when time for patient accrual is longer than the pre-specified follow-up time.
