Forest plot of the direct comparison results.
Notes: Random-effects meta-analyses of the results of the direct comparisons of the (A) OSs, (B) LRRs, and (C) DMRs among the treatment regimens. The squares indicate the study-specific statistical weights, the horizontal lines indicate the 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and the diamonds indicate the HR or RR summary statistics with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals.
Abbreviations: AC, adjuvant chemotherapy; CCRT, concurrent chemoradiotherapy; DMR, distant metastasis rate; HR, hazard ratio; IC, induction chemotherapy; LRR, locoregional recurrence rate; OS, overall survival; RR, risk ratio; RT, radiotherapy.
