Fig. 3 Funnel plot scatter plots of antiangiogenic drug effects estimated from individual studies (horizontal axis) against the study size (vertical axis). The symmetric inverted funnel shape and the fill and trim analysis (result in black) suggest that publication bias in unlikely. A: effect size (HR) for overall survival; B: effect size (HR) for progression-free survival.
