Figure 5. Forest plots for the meta-analysis of the association between LMR and recurrence-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival (PFS) in various cancer types.

(A) A combined analysis showed that LMR lower than the cutoff was associated with poor RFS in non-hematological malignancy. In addition, a non-significant result for DLBCL was reported. (B) The lower LMR was significantly associated with poor PFS in lung cancer, DLBCL, follicular lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma. In addition, a significant result for Burkitt lymphoma was reported.
