Pancreaticobiliary Maljunction Is Associated with Common Bile Duct Carcinoma: A Meta-Analysis
Figure 2
Forest plot of the association between PBM and CBDC risk. (a) Summary risk of CBDC associated with PBM. (b) Forest plot describing the SMD for diagnosis age in CBDC patients with or without PBM. (c) Forest plot describing the OR of the incidence of CDC in CBDC patients with or without PBM. PBM: pancreaticobiliary maljunction; CBDC: common bile duct carcinoma; SMD: standard mean difference; CI: confidence interval; OR: odds ratio.
