Figure 3

Comparison of objective response rate between the TS -/low arm and TS +/high arm of NSCLC patients receiving pemetrexed-containing chemotherapy (n = 526). Pooled data from these 8 studies showed an overall objective response rate of 19.3% and 30.0% for TS +/high expression (n = 269) and TS -/low expression (n = 257), respectively, which was significantly in favor of TS -/low expression (OR = 0.45; 95% CI, 0.29–0.70; p = 0.0004).
