Figure 3.

Forest plot showing the association between circulating miR-223 expression and OS. (A) Pooled HR of circulating miR-223 on OS of all types of cancer under random-effects model. In subgroup analyses, (B) pooled HR of circulating miR-223 on OS of chronic lymphocytic leukemia under the fixed-effects model; (C) pooled HR of circulating miR-223 on OS of nonsmall cell lung carcinoma under fixed-effects model; (D) pooled HR of circulating miR-223 on OS of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma under the random-effects model. Data are HRs and 95% CIs.

Abbreviations: SE, standard error; IV, inverse variance; CI, confidence interval; OS, overall survival; HR, hazard ratio.
