Figure 3. Subtype analyses of pooled postoperative morbidity.
Forest plots displayed the results of the meta-analysis comparing overall survival following simultaneous resection vs. staged resection for SCRLMs. IV: Inverse Variance method. Fixed: The heterogeneity test showed no significant heterogeneity, and fixed effect model was used. CI: confidence interval. Favours Simultaneous: With results on this side, simultaneous group had longer overall survival. Favours Staged: With results on this side, staged group had longer overall survival.
