Association of GST Genetic Polymorphisms with the Susceptibility to Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) in Chinese Population Evaluated by an Updated Systematic Meta-Analysis
Figure 5
Galbraith plot of association between GST polymorphisms and HCC risk.
Each figure represents a unique article in this meta-analysis. The figures outside the three lines are spotted as the outliers and the possible sources of heterogeneity in the analysis pooled of total available studies. (A) Galbraith plot identifies the outliers from 26 studies about GSTM1 polymorphisms and HCC risk. (B) Galbraith plot identifies the outliers from 21 studies about GSTT1 polymorphisms and HCC risk. (C) Galbraith plot identifies the outliers from 12 studies about GSTM1-GSTT1 polymorphisms and HCC risk.
