Fig. 1From: Process-based approach to modeling recurrent-event data explicated on the basis of occurrences of tooth losses in two different prosthetic treatment conceptsa Event plot for teeth extraction events in the study jaw. Each horizontal line represents the duration of observation of a patient. It ends either with the eventual tooth extraction or with a right-censoring time given by a final examination. The start time (inclusion into the survey) of each patient has been set to zero. IDs 1 through 78 are patients treated with a partial removable prosthesis (red lines with cross markers at the extraction times). IDs 79 through 149 are patients treated with a fixed prosthesis (green lines and markers). Multiple events occurring on the same day are slightly shifted for better visibility. b Histograms for the event times (only primary outcome, i.e., tooth loss) calculated separately for the study jaw (left) and the non-study jaw (middle) as well as for the pooled data (right)Back to article page
