Table 2. Characteristics in patients from FTD/TPI-groups of the three randomized controlled trials (the RECOURSE phase III trial [Citation5], the Japanese phase II trial [Citation4], and the TERRA phase III trial [Citation6]), and in the current pooled analysis of observational studies.

Figure 3. Forest plots. Pooled analyses of median progression free survival (top) and median overall survival (bottom). A black box that also gives a representation of the size of the study represents point estimates of the individual studies with 95% confidence intervals. The white summary diamond shows the pooled estimate from a fixed effect model. The grey dots at the bottom represents point estimates from the trifluridine/tipiracil-arms of the three efficacy studies with 95% confidence intervals.

A black box that also gives a representation of the size of the study represents point estimates of the individual studies. The white summary diamond shows the weighted mean with 95% confidence interval. The grey dots at the bottom represents point estimates from the trifluridine/tipiracil-arms of the three efficacy studies.
