Figure 5 Forest plots illustrating results of oncological outcomes in the form of a meta-analysis comparing laparoscopic total gastrectomy vs open total gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) or odds ratio (OR) with 95%CI were calculated using the fixed or random-effects model. A: No. of resected lymph nodes; B: Positive resection margins; C: Proximal resection margin; D: Distal resection margin. LTG: Laparoscopic total gastrectomy; OTG: Open total gastrectomy.
