Systematic review and meta-analysis of the impact of deviations from a clinical pathway on outcomes following pancreatoduodenectomy

Figure 2 There was minimal publication bias in the included studies as assessed by funnel plots. A: Forest plot comparing ≥ 50% and < 50% compliance to the clinical pathway on overall post-pancreatoduodenectomy complications. Funnel plot shows moderate heterogeneity; B: Forest plot comparing 100% and < 100% compliance to the clinical pathway on overall post-pancreatoduodenectomy complications. Funnel plot shows no heterogeneity. CI: Confidence interval.
