Overall survival — Full analysis set
From figure panel A · validated against the values printed on the figure · curve source: vision model
Reconstructed from the published curve. Median: A 27.2 months; B 27.5 months. Survival at 18 months: A 76%; B 70%. Hazard ratio A vs B 0.99 (95% CI 0.74–1.31).
| Arm | N | Events | Median (Months) |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 151 | 93 | 27.2 |
| B | 149 | 102 | 27.5 |
- A vs B: reconstructed HR 0.99 (95% CI 0.74–1.31)
