Figure 1 Methodological flow diagram of the meta-analysis.
Figure 2 Forest plots of studies evaluating HR with 95%CI of red cell distribution width for overall survival in esophageal cancer patients.
CI: Confidence interval; HR: Hazard ratio.
Figure 3 Effect of individual studies on the pooled HR for red cell distribution width and overall survival of esophageal cancer patients.
HR: Hazard ratio; RDW: Red cell distribution width.
Figure 4 Forest plots of RDW > 13% vs RDW ≤ 13% evaluating HR with 95%CI of red cell distribution width for overall survival in esophageal cancer patients.
CI: Confidence interval; HR: Hazard ratio; RDW: Red cell distribution width. 0: RDW > 13%; 1: RDW ≤ 13%.
