Figure 10

Forest plot of Std. mean difference (SMD) for evaluating the ratio of CD4/CD8 in the peripheral blood of NSCLC patients at the periods before and after treatment in a random-effect model. The SMD of the ratio of CD4/CD8 in the peripheral blood in the Rg3 and chemotherapy group was compared with that of the chemotherapy group. Individual studies are shown by the green-colored squares, and the pooled datasets are shown by the diamonds, representing the 95% confidence interval (CI) of each study. and < 0.05 implied a more enhancement of the ratio of CD4/CD8 in experimental group. The size of each investigation represented the weighting factor (1/SE) assigned to the study.
