Figure 5

Funnel plot at 3-year overall-survival depicting the distribution of hazard ratios for the 12 studies included in the meta-analysis. The outer dashed lines indicate the triangular region within which 95% of studies are expected to lie in the absence of reporting biases and heterogeneity. The solid vertical lines correspond to no intervention effect.
