Core Tip	In our study, the strength of our study lies in the simultaneous inclusion of lymph nodes stage, positive lymph node ratio, and log odds of positive lymph nodes, summarizing the hazard ratios for gastric cancer prognosis after surgery, and comparing the hazard ratios to evaluate their prognostic prediction ability. We combined data from studies with the same cutoff values and plotted Kaplan-Meier survival curves for overall survival. Comparing the relative survival differentiation rates within the stratifications of the three nodal systems.
