Manuscript number :
Article type :
Manuscript Title Dendritic Cells as Adjuvant Therapy in Increasing Survival
Rate for Glioblastoma Patients: Meta-Analysis

Evaluation Points Yes No Comment

Title and abstract
The title is relevant, concise and x The title is about “survival rate” however
describes the overall content of the the analysis using “hazard ratio”
research.
The 2 alternatives for improvement
- change analysis with survival rate but it
will need some hard effort to adjust the
paper
- change the title so that match to the
variable (hazard ratio)
The abstract is clear and precise consist

Comment:

It is good meta-analysis about adjuvant therapy for glioblastoma

Some revision needed before it published
The author should decide the objective of study i.e. to analyse survival rate or to analyse hazard ratio
