“…To analyze the association between PLR and clinicopathological characteristics in breast cancer patients, we pooled the results in studies with stratification of age, 19,20,25,27,29–32,35–37 LNM, 19–37 TNM stage, 19,20,22,24,25,27,29–32,34–37 tumor size, 19,20,24,29,31,32,35,37 and distant metastasis 19,20,24,29,31,32,35,37 (Table S3). The obtained results indicated no significant association of PLR with age (OR = 0.87; 95% CI 0.66, 1.16; P = 0.34) (Figure 4(a)), and tumor size (OR = 1.41; 95% CI 0.98, 2.02; P = 0.06) (Figure 4(c)).…”
