A Bayesian decision-theoretic design for simultaneous biomarker-based subgroup selection and efficacy evaluation.
Article in Statistics in biopharmaceutical research, 2022. 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
The success of drug development of targeted therapy often hinges on an appropriate selection of the sensitive patient population, mostly based on patients' biomarker levels. At the planning stage of a phase II study, although a potential biomarker may have been identified, a threshold value for defining sensitive patient population is often unavailable for adopting many existing biomarker-guided designs. To address this issue, we propose a two-stage design that allows for simultaneous biomarker threshold selection and efficacy evaluation while accommodating situations where the drug is efficacious in the entire patient population. The design uses a Bayesian decision-theoretic approach and incorporates the benefit and cost considerations of the study into a utility function. The operating characteristics of the proposed design under different scenarios are investigated via simulations. We also provide a discussion on the choice of the benefit and cost parameters in practice.
