Diagnostic and Prognostic Values of MANF Expression in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Figure 3

Meta-analysis for evaluating expression level of MANF in HCC. Each point represents a single microarray study. (a) Forest plot evaluating differences in MANF expression between HCC and nontumor tissues. Low and high MANF-expressing samples were regarded as the control and experimental groups, respectively. (b) Begg’s test for the publication bias test of GEO databases. (c) Egger’s test for the publication bias test of GEO databases. (d) Funnel plot for the publication bias test of GEO databases. (e) Sensitivity analysis was calculated by omitting each microarray in turn.
