Standardizing Discrete-Time Hazard Ratios With a Disease Risk Score.
Article in American journal of epidemiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
The disease risk score (DRS) is a summary score that is a function of a potentially large set of covariates. The DRS can be used to control for confounding by the covariates that went into estimation of the DRS and obtain a standardized estimate of an exposure's effect on disease. However, to date, literature on the DRS has not addressed analyses that focus on estimation of survival or hazard functions, which are common in epidemiologic analyses of cohort data. Here, we propose a method for standardization of hazard ratios using the DRS in longitudinal analyses of the association between a binary exposure and an outcome. This approach to handling a potentially large set of covariates through a model-based approach to standardization may provide a useful tool for cohort analyses of hazard ratios and may be particularly well-suited to settings where an exposure propensity score is difficult to model. Simulations are used in this paper to illustrate the approach, and an empirical example is provided.
