what is "censorship" as defined in that study?
Example in context:
". Right-censorship
was applied in three cases: if the animal was (1) transferred to another collection, with the date of
transfer considered as the censorship event; (2) euthanized for research purposes when still healthy,
with the date of sacrifice as the censorship event; or (3) still alive when the process of compiling
records was completed, with the date of completion as the censorship event (see Materials and
methods)."
