Example data set: Overall survival times in patients with lung cancer

Description

A data set based on a meta-analysis comparing overall survival times between individuals randomized to experimental arms and comparator arms in randomized trials for non-small cell lung cancer therapies (Iskander et al. 2024).

Usage

dat.lung

Format

A data frame with 30 rows and 11 columns:

study National Clinical Trial (NCT) number of the study.
n.g1 number of subjects (experimental group).
med.g1 median overall survival (experimental group).
med.ci.lb.g1 lower confidence interval bound around the median (experimental group).
med.ci.ub.g1 upper confidence interval bound around the median (experimental group).
med.ci.level.g1 level of the confidence interval (experimental group).
n.g2 number of subjects (comparator group).
med.g2 median overall survival (comparator group).
med.ci.lb.g2 lower confidence interval bound around the median (comparator group).
med.ci.ub.g2 upper confidence interval bound around the median (comparator group).
med.ci.level.g2 level of the confidence interval (comparator group).
