Figure 5 Forest plots of the correlation between platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio and clinical features in advanced gastric cancer. (A) Age (years) (≥60 versus <60, OR=1.398, 95% CI=0.827–2.362, P=0.211); (B) ECOG (≥2 versus <2, OR=1.355, 95% CI=0.492–3.731, P=0.557); (C) CEA (≥5 versus <5, OR=1.128, 95% CI=0.965–1.320, P=0.131); (D) Tumor size (≥5 cm versus <5 cm, OR=1.130, 95% CI=0.567–2.253, P=0.729); (E) Sex (male versus female, OR=0.940, 95% CI=0.794–1.112, P=0.468); (F) Tumor differentiation (poor versus moderate/well, OR=0.985, 95% CI=0.902–1.075, P=0.734).
