From: Postoperative nutritional outcomes and quality of life-related complications of proximal versus total gastrectomy for upper-third early gastric cancer: a meta-analysis

Figure 2

Forest plots for comparing operative outcomes between proximal gastrectomy and total gastrectomy including (a) operation time, (b) intraoperative blood loss, (c) postoperative hospital stay, and (d) postoperative complications. The meta-analyses were performed using the Mantel–Haenszel random-effect model. Weighted mean differences or odds ratios are shown with 95% confidence intervals. PG, proximal gastrectomy; TG, total gastrectomy; DTR, double-tract reconstruction; EG, esophagogastrostomy; JI, jejunal interposition.
