Figure 2 Bone marrow stem cell (BMSC) therapy and risk of all-cause mortality. Forest plot depicts the risk of all-cause mortality after BMSC therapy in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention compared with the control group. The lines represent 95% confidence interval (CI) and the size of the boxes is proportional to the weight of each study in the analysis.

Figure 3 Cumulative effect size of bone marrow stem cell (BMSC) therapy in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients. The trial sequential analysis plot depicts the points indicating cumulative meta-analysis (Z-curve), the conventional significance boundaries (horizontal black lines), the trial sequential monitoring boundaries (horizontal red lines), and the futility boundaries (funnel shaped red lines in the centre).
