Forest plot of overall case fatality rate of coronavirus disease 2019 patients who underwent cancer surgery. The squares represent the effects of individual studies, with their sizes varying to reflect the weight of a particular study in the overall analysis (larger squares indicate more weight). The error bars represent the 95% confidence intervals of the individual studies. The small ticks represent case fatality rates of the individual studies. The dotted vertical line and the diamond represent the overall effect, with outer edges representing the 95% confidence intervals. A 2-sided P value is used for reporting the result. CI = confidence interval.
