Endoscopic submucosal dissection of gastric tumors: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Figure 8 Meta-analysis of curative resection rate in 20 studies involving 8589 tumors in 7785 patients that underwent gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection. Each dot and the horizontal line through them correspond to the point estimate and confidence interval from each study respectively while the center and width of the diamond corresponds to the pooled estimate and its confidence interval respectively. Even though weighting (not shown) was done, it is not explicit because an iterative procedure was used in parameter estimation. All studies except one (Emura 2014, Colombia) were from Asia. ES: Estimate.
