Title:Association between RUNX 3 promoter methylation and gastric cancer: a
meta-analysis
Version: 4Date:21 July 2011
Reviewer: Stefania Boccia
Reviewer's report:
Minor revisions.
Tables and Figures are still redundant. Namely, figure 4, Tables 5 and 6 should
be removed as superfluous. FIgures 1,2 and 3 should be collapsed in only one
Figure, as following: Figure 1 is fine as it is, but you should add at the end the
overall ORs from the 4 strata of ethnic gorups and the 3 strata of the age groups.
Just the overall, without reporting again the OR for each study.
This can be done manually, check some mine previous meta-analyses to
understand what I mean.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: Yes, and I have assessed the statistics in my report.
