Three years Distant metastasis rates with RT alone versus CCRT with and/or without AC. Forest plot of the risk ratio (RR) for 3 years distant metastasis with RT alone versus CCRT with and/or without AC. The estimate of the RR of each individual trial corresponds to the middle of squares and the horizontal line gives 95% CI. The closed diamond shows the overall RR with its 95%CI. RR less than 1 indicated improved survival for the CCRT compared with RT alone. Kwong_AB: In Kwong's trial, for subgroup analysis with pure CCRT vs. RT, groups A and B were compared. Kwong_AD: In Kwong's trial, for subgroup analysis with adjuvant groups, A and D were compared.
