NME1 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: The meta-analysis revealed that low expression of NM23 was correlated with higher risk of NSCLC (OR = 4.35; 95% CI: 2.76–6.85; P < .01), poorer tumor node metastasis (TNM) staging (OR = 1.39; 95% CI: 1.01–1.90; P = .04), poorer differentiation degree (OR = 1.37; 95% CI: 1.01–1.86; P = .04), positive lymph node metastasis (OR = 1.83; 95% CI: 1.22–2.74; P < .01), lung adenocarcinoma (OR = 1.45; 95% CI: 1.20–1.75; P < .01), and poorer 5-year overall survival (OS) rate (hazard radio = 2.33; 95%CI: 1.32–4.11; P < .01).
