Figure 7.

Meta-analysis of endoscopic en bloc resection rate in 60 studies involving 21511 tumors in 19935 patients that underwent gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection, stratified by region. Each dot and the horizontal line through them correspond to the point estimate and confidence interval from each study respectively while the center and width of the diamond corresponds to the pooled estimate and its confidence interval respectively. Even though weighting (not shown) was done, it is not explicit because an iterative procedure was used in parameter estimation. ES: Estimate.
