3. Fig 2
Forest plots show weighted mean difference for (A) the duration of air leak, (B) the duration of chest drain, and (C) the duration of hospital stay after upper lobectomy with or without pleural tenting. The solid squares denote mean difference, the horizontal lines represent the 95% confidence interval (CI), and the diamond denotes the DerSimion Laird (DL) weighted mean differences.

4. Fig 3
Forest plot shows the weighted mean differences for (A) chest tube drainage and (B) the total hospital cost after upper lobectomy with or without pleural tenting. The solid squares denote mean difference, the horizontal lines represent the 95% confidence intervals (CI), and the diamond denotes the DerSimion Laird (DL) weighted mean differences. Forest plot shows pooled odds ratio of (C) total complications and (D) total cases of prolonged air leak after upper lobectomy with or without pleural tenting. The solid squares denote odds ratios, the horizontal lines represent the 95% confidence intervals (CI), and the diamond denotes the pooled odds ratio.
