Pretreatment Lymphocyte Monocyte Ratio Predicts Long-Term Outcomes in Patients with Digestive System Tumor: A Meta-Analysis

Figure 2

Main forest plots of meta-analysis. Forest plots of the association between lymphocyte to monocyte ratio and overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and disease or recurrence-free survival (DFS/RFS). Hazard ratios (HRs) for each study are represented by the squares. The size of the data markers (squares) corresponds to the weight of the study in the meta-analysis, and the horizontal line crossing the square represents the 95% confidence interval (CI). All statistical tests were two-sided. (a) Meta-analysis of patients OS from univariate analysis (UVA); (b) meta-analysis of patients CSS from UVA; (c) meta-analysis of patients DFS/RFS from UVA; (d) meta-analysis of patients OS from multivariate analysis (MVA); (e) meta-analysis of patients CSS from MVA; (f) meta-analysis of patients DFS/RFS from MVA.
