  1. δ I gives the cut-off hazard ratio for the intermediate outcome at a given one-sided significance level, HR gives the observed hazard ratio at that point in time, denotes that the trial would have been correctly stopped at that stage, ✗ denotes that the trial would have been incorrectly carried on to the next stage
