Fig. 2

We separately investigated odds ratio of false negative results for (a) all 705 included patients and (b) 681 patients after exclusion of those who had inaccessible lymph nodes. Odds ratio of false negative results according to operator when analyzing by patient, with operator A as a reference (Details are on Additional file 1: Table S5). Model 1: adjusted for patient character such as age, sex, location and histologic pattern of tumor; Model 2: adjusted for contents of procedure such as duration of procedure, combination of EUS, and number of evaluated lesions; Model 3: adjusted for both patient character and contents of procedure.
