Figure 3 Summary diagnostic accuracy of aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index for variceal prediction. A: Forest plot for sensitivity, specificity, and hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic (HSROC) plot for prediction of esophageal/gastric varices; B: Forest plot for sensitivity, specificity, and HSROC plot for prediction of clinically significant varices. In the HSROC plot, each study is identified with a small black circle. Square denotes the combined sensitivity and specificity, grey shaded area is the 95% confidence region, and the dashed line is the 95% prediction region. EV: Esophageal/gastric varices; CSV: Clinically significant varices.
