Fig. 4

Incidence of grade ≥ 3 AEs (a) and any-grade AESI (b). AEs and AESI are displayed by open blue circles. Solid black circles with standard error bars (y-value: binned probability of having an event from observations; x-value: median exposure value within the bin). Red line: mean model fitted curve (obtained from averaging the fitted curve for each exposure record in the data set). Dashed green lines: binning boundaries. Exposure levels are binned based on the quantiles of the log transformed exposure variable levels. Blue shaded area: based on 100 bootstrap replicates, depicting the 90% confidence band for the mean model fitted curve. Plot is based on 69 patients. Abbreviations: AE adverse event, AESI adverse event of special interest, AUC area under the curve
