Comprehensive expression status of FOXM1 in HCC tissue. The expression level of FOXM1 was explored by integrating the in-house immunohistochemistry, gene chips, and high-throughput sequencing data. A Forest plots. SMD = 1.70, 95%CI 1.42–1.98. B Funnel diagram with Begg’s test and Egger’s test. The test results indicated no significant bias between the included datasets. C sROC curve. The AUC value of the sROC curve further confirmed that FOXM1 had a strong discrimination ability in HCC (AUC = 0.94)
