Sequential landmark analyses of recurrence among patients treated by non-maintenance induction BCG (iBCG) or iBCG plus maintenance BCG (mBCG). a Recurrence-free survival curves (RFS) after iBCG are plotted and compared using the log-rank test among three groups as follows: Group a (i-6), non-maintenance six-dose iBCG; Group b (i-6 + m), six-dose iBCG plus mBCG; and Group c (i-7/8), non-maintenance seven−/eight-dose iBCG. After propensity score matching, RFS curves were compared between groups a and b and between groups b and c. b Landmark RFS curves at 6, 12, and 18 months for recurrence among patients treated with non-maintenance iBCG or iBCG plus mBCG were plotted and compared between matched groups a and b (left panels) and between matched groups b and c (right panels). The P values, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are shown in the figures
