Long-Term Clinical Efficacy and Perioperative Safety of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection versus Endoscopic Mucosal Resection for Early Gastric Cancer: An Updated Meta-Analysis

Figure 10

Funnel plots were created to assess the publication bias in our meta-analysis. In the absence of publication bias, it assumes that studies with high precision will be plotted near the average, and studies with low precision will be spread evenly on both sides of the average, creating a roughly funnel-shaped distribution. (a) Operation time. (b) En bloc resection rate. (c) Complete resection rate. (d) Postoperative bleeding. (e) Incidence of perforation. (f) Recurrence rate.
