Fig. 7.
Funnel plot of 455 residuals of the final GLMM survival analysis (x-axis = residual; y-axis = study precision per quarter) of the reduced data set. Residuals were the differences between observed and estimated survival proportions. To the left residuals related to more actual dropouts in a quarter than predicted by the model, to the right residuals related to less actual dropouts than predicted by the model. There were 24 (5.3%) residuals outside the 95% CI.
