Median hazard ratio functions for the comparison of patients who had achieved a MMR resp. MR2 to those who did not have any remission at different landmarks with respect to PFS from 6 months to 5 years together with the 95% confidence intervals. On the y axis, the hazard ratio for PFS is plotted on a logarithmic scale. Note that on the x axis the landmark time is plotted instead of the event time. A hazard ratio of, e.g., 0.5 at landmark 6 months indicates that patients with MMR have only half the risk of patients with no MMR before or at 6 months
