Forest plots illustrating results of operative outcomes in the form of a meta-analysis comparing laparoscopic total gastrectomy vs open total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95%CI was calculated using the random effects model. A: Operation time; B: Intraoperative blood loss. LTG: Laparoscopic total gastrectomy; OTG: Open total gastrectomy.
