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 4

Forest plots for comparing quality of life-related complications between proximal gastrectomy and total gastrectomy including (a) gastroesophageal reflux, (b) anastomotic stenosis, and (c) anastomotic leakage. The meta-analyses were performed using the Mantel–Haenszel random-effect model. Odds ratios are shown with 95% confidence intervals. PG, proximal gastrectomy; TG, total gastrectomy; DTR, double-tract reconstruction; EG, esophagogastrostomy; JI, jejunal interposition; JPI, jejunal pouch interposition.
