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

backgroundAnalyzing time-to-event data, such as cancer patient survival time, is a central task in survival analysis. Numerous modeling methods and inference strategies have been developed for various application settings, where the primary goal is to assess the relationship between survival time and covariates. However, the applicability of existing approaches is often hindered by two major challenges. First, covariates (e.g., gene expression levels) typically exhibit complex network structures. Second, they are prone to measurement error, which can substantially bias inference if ignored.

resultsTo address these challenges, we developed the R package SurvGME (Survival analysis with Graphical and Measurement Error models). The package provides a comprehensive framework for survival analysis in the presence of both graphical dependence structures and measurement error.

conclusionsIt supports a range of commonly used survival models, and its utility and performance are illustrated using a breast cancer dataset.
