The articles concerned the incidence of T. vaginalis infection among patients with cancer. A Forest plot of the meta-analysis. The heterogeneity test yielded Chi2 = 27.01, p = 0.01, and I2 = 52%. The OR and 95% confidence interval were calculated as 1.87 and 1.29–2.71, respectively, and z and p values of the combined effect size were as 3.29 and less than 0.001.
