Cox regression is robust to inaccurate EHR-extracted event time: an application to EHR-based GWAS.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
motivationLogistic regression models are used in genomic studies to analyze the genetic data linked to electronic health records (EHRs), and do not take full usage of the time-to-event information available in EHRs. Previous work has shown that Cox regression, which can account for left truncation and right censoring in EHRs, increased the power to detect genotype-phenotype associations compared to logistic regression. We extend this to evaluate the relative performance of Cox regression and various logistic regression models in the presence of positive errors in event time (delayed event time), relating to recorded event time accuracy.
resultsOne Cox model and three logistic regression models were considered under different scenarios of delayed event time. Extensive simulations and a genomic study application were used to evaluate the impact of delayed event time. While logistic regression does not model the time-to-event directly, various logistic regression models used in the literature were more sensitive to delayed event time than Cox regression. Results highlighted the importance to identify and exclude the patients diagnosed before entry time. Cox regression had similar or modest improvement in statistical power over various logistic regression models at controlled type I error. This was supported by the empirical data, where the Cox models steadily had the highest sensitivity to detect known genotype-phenotype associations under all scenarios of delayed event time. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Access to individual-level EHR and genotype data is restricted by the IRB.
