Forest plots assessing the association between 8q24.3 gain (a) and amplification (b) and 5-year mortality per histopathological subtype of cancer using diploidy as a reference. The numbers in the columns refer to the total number of individuals presenting with each cancer type, and the number who died within 5 years, for the total group of individuals, those with diploidy (reference) and those with gain (a) or amplification (b). Individuals with deletion are not included in these analyses, since diploidy is considered the reference. Weights are derived from a random-effects model. Abbreviations: OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval
