Figure 1 Flowchart of search and article selection process.
Figure 2 Funnel plots of randomized clinical trials comparing surgery alone or with additional chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with potentially resectable colorectal liver metastases.
The HR was fit for overall survival. HR: Hazard ratio.
Figure 3 Linear prediction of overall survival according to recurrence free survival.
The sizes of dots are proportional to weight of each study. The linear regression was based on linear prediction of OS HR according to RFS HR, along with a 95%CI based on the mean. RFS: Recurrence-free survival; OS: Overall survival; HR: Hazard ratio.
