Forest plot of hazard ratios and 95% CIs for overall survival by variable stratum. Numbers of events were too small to estimate the hazard ratios for other race, 0 positive nodes, and proximal gastric primary site. Box size reflects the precision of the estimate, with a larger box size indicating greater precision. ECF, epirubicin, cisplatin, and fluorouracil; FU, fluorouracil; GE, gastroesophageal; LV, leucovorin; NOS, not otherwise specified ; PS, performance status; Q, Quartile.
