Each study is shown by an ellipse demonstrating sensitivity and specificity of 18F-FDG PET along with lines extending to respective 95% CIs. BMB is reference standard. Ellipse axes are proportional to weight of study in specificity and sensitivity dimensions. Data are summarized with weighted (thick line) and unweighted (thin line) SROC curves.
