Inflammatory prognostic markers in endometrial carcinoma: Systemic immune-inflammation index and prognostic nutritional index :
Cem Mirili,Mehmet Bilici +1 more
TL;DR: The prognosis of the EC cannot be accurately predicted, so it is very important to identify new predictive biomarkers to detect high-risk patients at the time of diagnosis.

Prognostic significance of pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with laryngeal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: An elevated pretreatment NLR is significantly associated with poorer prognosis in patients with LC, and subgroup analyses consistently showed a worse OS in Patients with an elevated NLR.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test
TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.

Quantifying heterogeneity in a meta‐analysis
TL;DR: It is concluded that H and I2, which can usually be calculated for published meta-analyses, are particularly useful summaries of the impact of heterogeneity, and one or both should be presented in publishedMeta-an analyses in preference to the test for heterogeneity.

Operating characteristics of a rank correlation test for publication bias.
TL;DR: In this paper, an adjusted rank correlation test is proposed as a technique for identifying publication bias in a meta-analysis, and its operating characteristics are evaluated via simulations, and the test statistic is a direct statistical analogue of the popular funnel-graph.
