Title:Role of Vitamin K2 in Preventing the Recurrence of Hepatocellular
Carcinoma after Curative Treatment.A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled
Trials.
Version: 2Date:19 October 2012
Reviewer: Masataka MS Seike
Reviewer's report:
The manuscript has been revised well. I think this manuscript will be acceptable
after some corrections have been done.
Major Compulsory Revisions
1.In Abstract(Result), the sentence which “The corresponding absolute risk
reductions in participants taking Vitamin K were -0.13(95%CI,-0.32 to -0.06)for
recurrence of hepatocelluar carcinoma at 1 year” is confusing, since this result
has not been defined in the Result.
2. The authors use mixed the both “vitamin K” and “vitamin K2” throughout the
manuscript. I think better to replace the word "vitamin K" with "vitamin K2".
Minor Essential Revisions
1.There are some typographical errors and inappropriate signs as comma, period
, parentheses e.t.c, throughout the manuscript. Please check them.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: Yes, but I do not feel adequately qualified to assess the
statistics.
Declaration of competing interests:
I declare that I have no competing interests.
