A Novel Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Sarcopenia Based TACE-Predict Model of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients
TL;DR: In this article , a neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and sarcopenia-based prognostic nomogram was developed to estimate the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after TACE treatment.

Pretreatment platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as a prognosticating indicator for gastric cancer patients receiving immunotherapy
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors characterized the ability of pretreatment platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) to prognosticate advanced or metastatic gastric cancer patients (AGC or MGC, respectively) receiving immunotherapy.

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.
