A fixed model was used because of no significant heterogeneity (P = 0.632, I2 = 0), and the result demonstrated that high density of intratumoral CD204+ TAMs in patients with HCC were associated with a poor OS (pooled HR = 1.947; 95% CI = 1.387–2.733; P < 0.001). The gene discussed is MSR1; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
