Fig 2 Comparisons of (A) overall survival and (B) progression-free survival after postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) versus no PORT with meta-analysis using random effects model. The left portion of the figure shows the studies analyzed with their corresponding hazard ratio, lower and upper confidence interval (CI) limits, and p value; the right portion of the figure shows a forest plot of the data. The horizontal lines represent the values within the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the underlying effects; the vertical line indicates a hazard ratio of 1. (SEER = Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2017 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 3 A funnel plot of precision by log hazard ratio for (A) overall survival and (B) progression-free survival showed that all the studies in our meta-analysis fall almost symmetrically and most are centered on the median axis, suggesting a lack of important publication bias in our meta-analysis in all the original studies.
