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

Estimating and interpreting treatment effects (TE) for rare or delayed clinical outcomes is often challenging. To address this, researchers may incorporate additional evidence sources, including historical trial data and concurrent information from intermediate outcomes. In this article, we present Bayesian dynamic borrowing (BDB) as a principled framework for integrating such data while maintaining control of bias and Type I error. Using hypothetical trials of a novel high-efficacy therapy for multiple sclerosis, we provide a step-by-step demonstration of how BDB can be used to combine an imprecise TE estimate for a final outcome with a prediction derived from historical data and information on a concurrent intermediate outcome. Our illustration includes calibration of BDB to meet desired Type I error and power properties, and sensitivity analyses to assess robustness to assumption violations. We also discuss key considerations for applying BDB in regulatory decision making and health technology assessment contexts.
