Fig. 5From: The role of definitive chemoradiotherapy versus surgery as initial treatments for potentially resectable esophageal carcinomaForest plot comparison of the ORs of the OS between the dCRT and surgery arms for patients with N0 disease and N+ diseases. The OR of the 5-year OS for N0 disease was 1.419 (95% CI 0.613–3.289; P = 0.414). Publication bias: not available due to lack of studies. The OR of the 5-year OS for N+ disease was 0.226 (95% CI 0.044–1.169; P = 0.076). Publication bias: not available due to lack of studies. Weights are from random-effects analysesBack to article page
