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

For the analysis of interval-censored data, we propose a deep generalized accelerated hazards model. This model is designed to facilitate a detailed exploration of the relationship between various risk factors and the hazard associated with failure time. We develop a sieve maximum likelihood estimation procedure that combines deep neural networks and monotonic splines. By employing deep neural networks, we can effectively capture nonparametric effects, enabling a flexible and adaptive modeling approach for complex relationships. Under certain regularity conditions, we derive a nonasymptotic error bound for the resulting estimator and show that the finite-dimensional estimator is asymptotically normal and achieves the semiparametric efficiency. We conduct simulation studies to evaluate the finite-sample performance of the proposed approach. Furthermore, the proposed method is applied to the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study for practical illustration.
