Whether a resolved value raises a per-row flag — censored on a survival
curve, pooled on a forest plot.
Read strictly rather than by truthiness, because the flag arrives as a
boolean, as a 0/1 indicator, or as the string one of those was parsed
from — and '0' is truthy in every one of those readings while raising
nothing. true, 1, '1' and 'true' count; everything else, 'yes'
included, does not.
One helper for both flags on purpose. They are the same fact in two charts
and the cost of disagreeing is not symmetric: a pooled read by truthiness
marks every study as the summary the moment a CSV hands over the string
'0', which drops the whole body of evidence out of the announcement.
