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

Interval-censored data are ubiquitous in clinical studies where actual time-to-event is difficult to measure. A number of nonparametric tests have been proposed to conduct a two-sample test using interval-censored data, and these tests can be used for assessing and comparing treatment effects over the control group. Alternatively, as commonly perceived, parametric tests can also be used assuming data are generated from a parametric family of distributions. To provide some guidance on choosing an appropriate method, in this paper, the performance of parametric tests and a series of nonparametric tests are compared through extensive simulation studies that cover a wide range of scenarios with varying sample sizes, varying censoring mechanisms and varying alternative hypotheses. For the purpose of illustration, we also apply these procedures to analyse three real datasets.
