A Bayesian semiparametric method for analyzing length-biased data.
Article in Journal of applied statistics, 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
Survival data obtained from prevalent cohort study designs are often subject to length-biased sampling. Frequentist methods including estimating equation approaches, as well as full likelihood methods, are available for assessing covariate effects on survival from such data. Bayesian methods allow a perspective of probability interpretation for the parameters of interest, and may easily provide the predictive distribution for future observations while incorporating weak prior knowledge on the baseline hazard function. There is lack of Bayesian methods for analyzing length-biased data. In this paper, we propose Bayesian methods for analyzing length-biased data under a proportional hazards model. The prior distribution for the cumulative hazard function is specified semiparametrically using I-Splines. Bayesian conditional and full likelihood approaches are developed for analyzing simulated and real data.
