Forest plot for MSI/BRAF mutation status and OS in colorectal cancer.

Notes: The colorectal cancer was divided into four subtypes according to the combination of MSI and BRAF mutation, ie, MSSwt, MSSmut, MSIwt, and MSImut. OS was compared between MSSmut and MSSwt (A), MSImut and MSIwt (B), MSImut and MSSmut (C), MSIwt and MSSwt (D), MSImut and MSSwt (E), and MSIwt and MSSmut (F) by pooling the previous studies.

Abbreviations: MSI, microsatellite instability; MSImut, microsatellite instability and BRAF mutation; MSIwt, microsatellite instability and BRAF wild type; MSSmut, microsatellite stable and BRAF mutation; MSSwt, microsatellite stable and BRAF wild type; OS, overall survival.
