Begg’s funnel plot for the publication bias analysis for associations of MSI/BRAF mutation status with 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. Potential publication bias was explored by Begg’s funnel plots for OS comparison between MSSmut and MSSwt (A), MSIwt and MSSwt (B), MSImut and MSSwt (C), MSImut and MSIwt (D), MSIwt and MSSmut (E), and MSImut and MSSmut (F).

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.
