Diagnosis and Prognostic Significance of c-Met in Cervical Cancer: A Meta-Analysis

Figure 2

(a) Forest plots of c-Met expression analyses. The random-effects model was used in the analysis. Studies were stratified based on the type of specimen: cervical cancer group versus noncancer group. Squares and horizontal lines correspond to the study-specific RR and 95% CI, respectively. Rhombus represents the summary of RR and 95% CI. (b) Forest plots of c-Met analyses with disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). The random-effects model was used. Studies were stratified based on the type of specimen: c-Met expression in cervical cancer and noncancer groups with DFS and OS. (c) and (d) Forest plots of c-Met expression analyses between cervical cancer tissue and intraepithelial neoplasm (c) and between intraepithelial neoplasm and normal cervical tissue groups (d). Weight: the number of cases in each article accounts for the proportion of the total cases. RR: risk ratio. CI: confidence interval (also 95% CI). Red dotted line: invalid line. Blue square: total weight.
