From: Process-based approach to modeling recurrent-event data explicated on the basis of occurrences of tooth losses in two different prosthetic treatment concepts

Fig. 1

a 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)
