FIGURE 6.

Axon guidance gene expression influences disease survival. Forest plots of the overall disease survival with respect to relative gene expression. For this analysis, the reference group included patients with low expression of the candidate gene. The dotted line represents a hazard ratio (HR) of 1. Higher expression of candidate genes was associated with significant less overall survival when HR > 1, with a confidence interval (CI) of 95%. These are the data points to the right the dotted line. Higher expression of candidate genes was associated with more overall survival when HR < 1 and 95% CI. These are the data points to the left of the dotted line. Abbreviations: HNSCC, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; PDAC, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; STAD, stomach adenocarcinoma; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval.
