Columns correspond to increasing imbalance in unmeasured confounders between treatment groups
[7_TD$DIFF]
while rows correspond to increasing adverse effect of unmeasured confounders on OS.
[21_TD$DIFF]
As such, the
[22_TD$DIFF]
present sensitivity
analysis allows
[23_TD$DIFF]
for
[24_TD$DIFF]
testing the treatment effect of trimodal therapy
[11_TD$DIFF]
vs. radical cystectomy in
[8_TD$DIFF]
presence of unmeasured confounders with varying
[25_TD$DIFF]
combination of imbalance between treatment groups and impact on OS. Dark
blue, light blue
[7_TD$DIFF]
and orange areas correspond to a joint bounding factor
[26_TD$DIFF]
– HR of trimodal therapy vs. radical cystectomy in presence of unmeasured confounders with a given combination of
[27_TD$DIFF]
imbalance
[28_TD$DIFF]
(OR
TMT-U
[29_TD$DIFF]
) and
[30_TD$DIFF]
impact
on OS
[31_TD$DIFF]
(HR
OS-U
[32_TD$DIFF]
) – suggestive of a significant,
[33_TD$DIFF]
non-significant and reverse treatment effect, respectively.
