Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors
Thank you for effectively responding to the comments. I have no additional comments about
the results but I have two comments to further improve the presentation of the results:
1- In the new Table 3: This table in its shape is best to be moved to the supplementary information
for those who need to look at the specific distribution of the + and -, meanwhile make the Table
3 in the manuscript with the attached format: the rows only indicate the metastasis type  and
make the value in the intersect between each row and column to be the adjusted mean difference
between + and - with its associated 95% CI.
2- The quality of Figure 1 needs to be improved, very hard to read. The Figure shows many of
the significant associations as diamonds on the no significance line corresponding to the OR =1.
Turn Figure 1 into a Table, this will help the reader to easily capture the significant associations
in the simple and multiple logistic regression analyses.
