Table 2.

Patients’ characteristics and efficacy in patients from the retrospective studies. The third and fourth columns contain information on the total number of patients and the number of series the result depicted in the second column is based on. Percentages may not add up to 100 because of different denominators due to variable groupings or missing information in the pooled studies.
