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

Field data provide important information on product reliability. Interval sampling is widely used for collection of field data, which typically report incident cases during a certain time period. Such sampling scheme induces doubly truncated (DT) data if the exact failure time is known. In many situations, the exact failure date is known only to fall within an interval, leading to doubly truncated and interval censored (DTIC) data. This article considers analysis of DTIC data under parametric failure time models. We consider a conditional likelihood approach and propose interval estimation for parameters and the cumulative distribution functions. Simulation studies show that the proposed method performs well for finite sample size.
