A discrete approximation method for modeling interval-censored multistate data.
Article in Statistics in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Many longitudinal studies are designed to monitor participants for major events related to the progression of diseases. Data arising from such longitudinal studies are usually subject to interval censoring since the events are only known to occur between two monitoring visits. In this work, we propose a new method to handle interval-censored multistate data within a proportional hazards model framework where the hazard rate of events is modeled by a nonparametric function of time and the covariates affect the hazard rate proportionally. The main idea of this method is to simplify the likelihood functions of a discrete-time multistate model through an approximation and the application of data augmentation techniques, where the assumed presence of censored information facilitates a simpler parameterization. Then the expectation-maximization algorithm is used to estimate the parameters in the model. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by numerical studies. Finally, the method is employed to analyze a dataset on tracking the advancement of coronary allograft vasculopathy following heart transplantation.
