  1. PR: positive rate. Negative ( −), light positive ( +), positive (+ +), strong positive (+ + +) staining
  2. The association of METTL5 expression with multitaxonomic variables, including TNM stage, Tumor location and differentiation degree, was analyzed by Kruskal–Wallis H- test of nonparametric test. For other dichotomous variables, Mann–Whitney U- test of nonparametric test was used
