Table 3.

The weighting of points in each sector used to assess how the positioning of points affects estimates of ln (HR) and var. ln (HR)

Sets, Study 1 Sector 1 (0–50 months) Sector 2 (51–100 months) Sector 3 (101–150 months) Total Number of Points
Uniform 10 10 10 30
Weight 1 20 5 5 30
Weight 2 5 20 5 30
Weight 3 5 5 20 30

The maximum timeframe was split into three equal sectors as described. A series of weighted sets were created for each study based on distributing 30 points at specific weights across each of the sectors
