Figure 5 Meta-analysis of recurrence risk: Salvage treatment vs observation. The forest plot compares the recurrence risk between salvage treatment and observation based on nine studies reporting events in both groups. The pooled odds ratio was 0.89 (95% confidence interval: 0.40-2.02), with no statistical significance and negligible heterogeneity (I² = 0%), suggesting inconclusive comparative effectiveness. OR: Odds ratio; CI: Confidence interval.
