Gastroesophageal Reflux in Relation to Adenocarcinomas of the Esophagus: A Pooled Analysis from the Barrett’s and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Consortium (BEACON)
Figure 1
Forest plots of associations between heartburn and regurgitation exposures in relation to case and control groups in BEACON.
A: The association between recurrent heartburn or recurrent regurgitation in relation to esophageal adenocarcinoma. B: The association between heartburn and regurgitation duration in relation to esophageal adenocarcinoma. C: The association between heartburn and regurgitation frequency in relation to esophageal adenocarcinoma. D. The frequency of recurrent heartburn or recurrent regurgitation exposure in case and control groups by study. For each plot each white square represents the study-specific odds ratio (A–C) or prevalence of exposure (D) and the black diamond represents the overall estimate. The arms of each symbol portray the 95% confidence intervals.
