An Accelerated Life Model Analog for Discrete Survival and Count Data.
Review in Computer methods and programs in biomedicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveOur goal is to provide an overall strategy for utilizing continuous accelerated life models in the discrete setting that provides a unique and flexible modeling approach across a variety of hazard shapes.
methodsWe convert well-known continuous accelerated life distributions into their discrete counterpart and show theoretically that the existing software that currently exists to accommodate, left, right and interval censoring in the continuous case is re-usable in the discrete setting due to the structure of the likelihood equations.
resultsWe demonstrate across a variety of simulated and real-world data that our modeling approach can accommodate discrete data that may either be approximately symmetric, left-skewed or right skewed, overcoming the limitations of more traditional modeling approaches.
conclusionsWe illustrate both theoretically and through simulations that our approach for accommodating discrete failure time and count data is quite flexible. We demonstrate that the special case of the discrete Weibull model readily can accommodate truly Poisson distributed data and has a great degree of flexibility for non-Poisson distributed data.
