Figure 2 Forest plot of the patient-level prevalence of pathologic lymph-node metastasis in surgically staged small-cell carcinoma of the esophagus.
Logit-transformed random-effects model; Q = 12.71, df = 3, τ² = 0.113, I² = 76.4%. The CHiSCEC study is a non-peer-reviewed preprint and should therefore be interpreted with caution.
