TWISTER PLOTS FOR TIME-TO-EVENT STUDIES

Results of randomized trials and observational studies can be difficult to communicate. Results are often presented as risk or survival functions stratified by the treatment or exposure (1, 2). However, a contrast between the stratified risk functions is often of primary interest. Here we propose a “twister” plot to visualize contrasts in risk over the duration of a study. The twister plot is a −90-degree rotation of a typical contrast measure...
