Table 4.

Meta-analysis of the association between MBOAT7-TMC4 rs641738 and HCC risk under other genetic models.

Genetic model	OR (95%CI)	P_hetergeneity	I² (%)	Sensitivity analysis	P_{Egger’s test}	P_{Begg’s test}
Codominant model (CT vs. CC)	1.04 (0.92–1.19)	0.394	0	Stable	0.591	1.000
Codominant model (TT vs. CC)	1.18 (0.97–1.43)	0.472	0	Stable	0.548	0.734
Dominant model	1.08 (0.95–1.22)	0.352	8.2	Stable	0.634	1.000
Recessive model	1.17 (0.98–1.38)	0.623	0	Stable	0.529	0.734
Additive model	1.08 (0.99–1.18)	0.367	5.1	Stable^*	0.522	0.308

^*Under the additive model, all pooled results were quite stable, except for excluding the study by Stickel (2018) (9). The pooled OR and 95% CI was 1.13 (1.00–1.28) when we excluded the study of Stickel (2018) (9) under the additive model.
