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

In clinical trials, multiple outcomes of different priorities commonly occur as the patient's response may not be adequately characterized by a single outcome. Win statistics are appealing summary measures for between-group difference at more than one endpoint. When defining the result of pairwise comparisons of a time-to-event endpoint, it is desirable to allow ties to account for incomplete follow-up and not clinically meaningful difference in endpoints of interest. In this article, we propose a class of win statistics for time-to-event endpoints with a user-specified equivalence margin. These win statistics are identifiable in the presence of right censoring and do not depend on the censoring distribution. We then develop estimation and inference procedures for the proposed win statistics based on inverse-probability-of-censoring weighting adjustment to handle right censoring. We conduct extensive simulations to investigate the operational characteristics of the proposed procedure in the finite sample setting. A real oncology trial is used to illustrate the proposed approach.
