“…Further, trim and fill analyses were performed to determine the reliability of our estimate by calculating the adjusted pooled prevalence. 27 , 28 The test achieves this by detecting potential missing studies due to publication bias and attempts to recalculate the pooled prevalence by taking those missing studies into account thereby balancing the funnel plot. 29 The command “trimfill.rma.uni” which is inherently loaded in “metafor” R package was utilized for the analysis, further a funnel plot with inputted missing studies and adjusted utilization estimate was constructed.…”

Background: This study aimed to generate a pooled national estimate on dental health care services utilization by the adult population in India from any public or private facility in an effort to highlight the demand and usage for oral health care. Methods: In this meta-analysis, PubMed, ScienceDirect, DOAJ, and Google Scholar were searched using a search strategy that combined MeSH headings and keywords (e.g., "Oral Health", "Dental Health Services", utilization, India, etc.) for articles on dental utilization among Indian adults, published between January 2011 and June 2022. Study quality was assessed using the NIH Quality assessment tool, and a random-effects inverse-variance method was used for pulling utilization proportions. Meta-regression and sub-group analyses were conducted to identify the sources of heterogeneity. Heterogeneity is reported as I2 . To examine publication bias, the funnel plot, egger’s test, and trim-and-fill analysis were performed. Results: From 4012 identified articles, 21 were eligible for inclusion. The pooled dental care utilization amongst Indian adults were found to be 23.96% (confidence interval [CI]: 16.81%– 31.11%, P<0.001, I2=98.93%), and the highest estimate was in South Zone (30.02%, CI: 19.14–40.90, P<0.01, I2=98.63%). Visual inspection of the funnel plot revealed the presence of publication bias (egger’s P value 0.02). A mild decrease in utilization estimate was noted through trim and fill analysis (adjusted estimate 17.65%, CI: 8.97–26.33, P=0.03). No significant subgroup effect was found for the variables study zone and conduction years (P value: 0.09 & 0.34 respectively). Conclusion: Future studies should be undertaken to focus on the demand and supply of oral health care services since an evidential gap has been identified due to the uneven distribution of studies available from various regions of India. The heterogeneity can be attributed to the diverse socioeconomic, literacy, and inherent health system performance status.

“…To further assess the accuracy of our estimate, trim and fill analyses were carried out by computing the modified pooled prevalence [ 17 ]. The test accomplishes this by attempting to balance the funnel plot by balancing the pooled prevalence by recalculating it while taking into account any potential missing studies as a result of publication bias [ 18 ].…”

This systematic review and meta-analysis was planned with the objective of evaluating the level of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) in oral submucous fibrosis patients and in controls and comparing them. For this meta-analysis, we searched Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) databases using a search methodology that included combinations of MeSH terms and keywords and included cross-sectional studies to evaluate the levels of LDH in patients with Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF), Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) and compared it with the controls. The total number of records identified through database searching was 4161 (n). Analysis of the quality of the studies was done using the National Heart, Lungs and Blood Institute (NHLBI) tool for case-control studies. Twelve casecontrol studies which matched the inclusion criteria were included after the literature search. The metaanalysis was carried out using R Studio (version 4.1.3, 2022; The R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). The pooled estimate that has been calculated from the salivary LDH course for OSMF was 15.35% and from the serum LDH course for OSMF was 6.82%. There was a visual observation of the funnel's plot asymmetry suggesting publication bias. After adjusting the publication bias, the t 2 values for salivary and serum LDH were 41% and 14.71%, respectively, which was less than 50%, indicating that the metaanalysis was statistically significant. The evaluation of salivary and serum LDH can be a useful method for early diagnosis of OSMF as well as OSCC. To infer that individuals may have OPMD or OSCC, specific values for salivary and serum LDH must be found in further investigations.

“…Lung cancer is one of the most common types of human cancer, and it is additionally one of the leading causes of cancer associated mortality globally [1][2][3]. A meta-analysis revealed a statistically significant increase in mortality rate in lung cancer patients compared with other patients with cancer [4,5].…”

Background: The tumorigenesis of lung cancer is complicated, and genetic factor may have the role in the malignant transformation of lung cells. IL-10 gene polymorphisms have been evaluated for their potential roles in lung cancer. However, those studies results are controversial. To clarify the effects of IL-10 rs1800871, rs1800872 and rs1800896 polymorphisms on the risk of lung cancer, a meta-analysis was performed with eligible individual studies. Methods: Eligible publications were gathered by retrieving PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Wan Fang, and CNKI up to September 01, 2023. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of such association. Results: A total of 23 studies, including 5950 patients with lung cancer and 8046 healthy controls, were identified in this meta-analysis. Overall, there was no a significant association between the rs1800871, rs1800872 and rs1800896 polymorphisms at IL-10 gene and susceptibility to lung cancer globally when all studies in the pooled into this meta-analysis. Stratified analysis by ethnicity showed that rs1800872 polymorphism was associated with lung cancer among Asians and Caucasians. However, no significant association was identified between the rs1800871 and rs1800896 and risk of lung cancer. Conclusions: Pooled data showed that IL-10 rs1800871, rs1800872 and rs1800896 polymorphisms were not associated with lung cancer globally. Future well-designed large case-control studies with different ethnicities are recommended.
