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

Prognostic analysis for patient survival often employs gene expressions obtained from high-throughput screening for tumor tissues from patients. When dealing with survival data, a dependent censoring phenomenon arises, and thus the traditional Cox model may not correctly identify the effect of each gene. A copula-based gene selection model can effectively adjust for dependent censoring, yielding a multi-gene predictor for survival prognosis. However, methods to assess the impact of various types of dependent censoring on the multi-gene predictor have not been developed. In this article, we propose a sensitivity analysis method using the copula-graphic estimator under dependent censoring, and implement relevant methods in the R package "compound.Cox". The purpose of the proposed method is to investigate the sensitivity of the multi-gene predictor to a variety of dependent censoring mechanisms. In order to make the proposed sensitivity analysis practical, we develop a web application. We apply the proposed method and the web application to a lung cancer dataset. We provide a template file so that developers can modify the template to establish their own web applications.
